Well my plans for Mercury are:

Bobcat-compact retro wagon
Comet-RWD 2 seat sports car(MX-5 based)
Cougar-RWD pony car
Cyclone-mid size crossover(Built on Taurus platform for lighter weight)
Indigo-2 seat rear engine RWD sports car(the Ford concept from 1996)
Marader-RWD full size car(Falcon from Australia)
Mariner-compact crossover
Messenger-2 seat RWD sports car(built on platform borrowed from Saleen)
Meteor-Full size RWD muscle car
Milan-RWD mid size car
Moon-Mid size MPV(Ford I-Max from Taiwan)
Mountaineer-RWD full size crossover(Territory from Australia)
Lynz-compact Hybrid only car
Puma-Compact coupe/convertible
Sable-Full size car
Topaz-4 seat rear engine RWD sports car(goes up against Lotus Eagle)

My plan is for Mercury to be a Green Muscle brand, all of these car would be available with hybrid powertrains except for Topaz,Meteor, Messenger and Indigo. The lynz would have the choice of a 2.0 hybrid, 2.5 hybid, and 2.5 Hybrid ecoboost.
