This is not to mention the fact that - as far as I know - there are no "Mercury" dealers, only Lincoln/Mercury dealers. Seeing as how the Mercury side of the showroom is responsible for 50% more sales than the Lincoln side, those MK-whatevers are going to have to make some siginificant strides in sales in order to convince the dealers to give up their volume leaders. Given that the rumor says it'll be five years before Mercury gets the plug pulled, this is probably what Ford is hoping for - but we'll see how that works out for them.
