[Shotimes] OT - 2006 Mercury Milan

[Ron Porter]

IIRC, they announced the death of the Marauder about a year ago, before
(obviously) there were any '04 sales.

In car sales, averages don't count. They look at this quarter versus last
quarter, and this quarter versus the same quarter last year (in Motown, this
stuff is all over the papers every day). If average sales would save a car,
Olds would still be around!

Ron,

SHO = almost 11,000 per year average over 11 years.

Marauder = 7839 in 2003
in 2004 = 3213

So it looks more like 5500 sales per year is bad enough to 
NOT keep a car on life support at FoMoCo.
