"a" is a common feminine gender ending of words and many people refer
to their cars as "her" or "she".

Then the Mercurys must be for the women, given their chosen
spokesmodel. She sorta makes me want to buy one, but I think I'll
drive the Fords until I can afford the Lincoln. >> Stay informed about: Why do almost all cars end with an ""A"" ? |

Next time you are looking to buy a Ford car you might want to take a look at
a Mercury equivalent, if there is one one. The GM for instance can be had
for less than a comparably equipped CV, except in base form. Same is true
of the Fusion/ Milan when one look at the top of the line models.
