We just got the latest press missive from Ford on the 2008 Mercury Mariner in both hybrid and non-hybrid flavors. The release, headlined "2008 MERCURY MARINER IS A HIT WITH ONLINE CONSUMERS" is a list of supposed owner comments culled from the posts of consumer auto-site forums. As you can expect, the remarks provide glowing recommendations on the '08 Mercury mini-SUV using words like "best," "love" and the always forum fan fave of "WOW!" All of this gushing got us wondering whether every Mariner forum post on the consumer auto sites is filled with gushing car-love. It turns out that's not the case. We were able to come up with some forum posts that seem to indicate maybe the Mariner isn't "A HIT" with every online consumer. We've got the full press release plus the cream of the contraindicative crop below the jump.
