Discover the '08 Mercury Mariner

The '08 Mercury Mariner. Yes that is 2008. That was the advertisement I saw on MSN the other day. Whaaaat's up with advertising and selling autos ahead of time? It is usually around 4-5 months ahead of time, but this is one year and 3 months ahead of time. I did click on the ad and it said that the 2008 Mercury Mariner will be available in early 2007. Why not just sell new models during their corresponding model year. Now someone who buys this 2008 vehicle in early 2007 may put 15,000 miles on it before 2008.

  • I bought a 97 Jeep Wrangler in 96. They skipped the 96 model year and released the 97 early. Never buy a 96 Jeep Wrangler CJ, they don't exist.
