Mercury My

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The (my) mercury Concept (sometimes known as the Mercury My) was a concept car created by Ford Motor Company under their Lincoln-Mercury Division. The (my) mercury was first introduced at the 1999 North American International Auto Show. The (my) mercury was designed by J Mays, the same designer of the Volkswagen New Beetle. This might also explain why the (my) mercury's curved roofline resembles the New Beetle's.

[edit] Design

The (my) mercury features suicide-style doors that are center-opening. It also features two amber glass panels. The (my) mercury also sports a center console that holds a mouse-like ball which controls the sound system, climate controls and integrated global positioning system that is displayed on a screen mounted in the center. The entire (my) mercury looks like neither a car, truck, or an SUV; it was a foreshadowing of the CUV cross-over segment to follow in the early part of the next decade.
