(general info) Mercury's best-selling vehicle was first introduced in 1986, with new versions offered in the 1992 and 1996 model years. Sable market share increased after the third generation of Mercury's bestseller was introduced in 1996. Sable is Mercury's midsize sedan, bridging the gap between Cougar-the automaker's compact coupe-and the full-size Grand Marquis. Sable is built on the same platform as the Ford Taurus. The fourth generation of the Sable was introduced for 2000 with more conservative styling than the previous generation and features such as adjustable accelerator and brake pedals-offered for the first time in a midsize sedan.
