Mercury Milan, 2010

Mercury Milan, 2010 The Mercury Milan builds on a strong foundation of quality and reliability, adding to the mix for the 2010 model year an all-new hybrid model, more fuel-efficient gasoline powertrain options, class-exclusive technologies and a more refined, sophisticated design.The changes to the exterior design were focused on the grille, fenders, hood, and front and rear fascias. The chin

Mercury Grand Marquis - Saving the Best for Last

And the Marquis stands alone. With the discontinuation of the Ford Crown Victoria in the consumer market, Mercury’s Grand Marquis is the last survivor in a family lineage that can be traced back to the Model T, and for that matter, the very beginning of the Ford Motor Company. It is also the very last of a breed of full-size, rear-drive, full-framed family sedans for which America’s Interstates

Mercury Milan - Comes with a Great Pedigree

You may have noticed that the Mercury Sable was not only a bit geriatric, but was also a staple of the nation’s rental fleets. This fact has not slipped by the product planners at Mercury. To fill in the lower-priced end of the mid-size segment, Mercury launched a MAZDA6-based sedan in the fall of 2005, the “Milan”.According to Darryl Hazel, Lincoln Mercury president, “We use the words ‘different

Mercury Mariner Hybrid — Going Green Gets Better

We were intrigued during a visit to New York City by the large number of Ford Escape Hybrid taxis plying the streets of Manhattan.Makes sense when you figure hybrids are at their best in slow stop and go traffic. The gas engine remains at rest much of the time. And a small SUV that will comfortably hold as many passengers and as much luggage as a big Crown Vic while deriving as much as 10 more

Mercury Milan Hybird - Mercury's Efficient Midsize

Three of my favorite mid-size cars are the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln MKZ that are all based on the excellent Mazda6 architecture. The same platform spawned the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers. What they lack in brute power and cavernous interiors, they make up for with refined handling, rock solid body structures, and enduring quality. You sense their Japanese heritage, no

Mercury Mariner Premier

The Ford Escape has proven over nearly a decade of production to become one of the most popular compact SUVs of all time by combining tough style, spirited on-road performance, and just enough soft-road capability to get to the mountain cabin, Boy Scout camp, or favorite fishing spot. Upscale models pass for elegant and luxurious, but there’s still a certain panache missing. That’s where Mercury

Mercury Milan Hybrid

With the industry tightening belts and nameplates being retired left and right, it comes as a bit of a surprise to see that Mercury’s still around. That’s not to say that the brand has no right to live; thousands of loyal Mercury buyers would certainly argue that it’s got a place on the automotive landscape. Still, Mercury has been high on the automotive dead pool lists for over a decade now, and

Mercury Milan Hybrid

When we get a hybrid or other high-mileage vehicle to test drive we have a different goal than perhaps most automotive reviewers. We try to get the worst mileage possible driving with all our bad habits on display.Sounds crazy huh? But we already know the EPA mileage numbers — which are fairly accurate since the government revised its criteria in 2008 — and we’ve usually already read that some
