Cleveland Auto Show, Feb 28-Mar 08 »The 2007 Mercury Milan expresses a dynamic new chapter in modern Mercury vehicle design. Crisp, tapered lines accentuate the bold stance of this stylish five-passenger sedan. Mercury’s distinct satin-aluminum grille and sleek, curved headlamps and taillamps give the Milan the feeling of movement when it’s standing still.
Upscale styling comes naturally to Mercury Milan, which features an expressive interior crafted for absolute comfort. Settle into the available leather-trimmed seats and surround yourself with satin-aluminum trim. An available Wales mahogany wood-appearance package creates a comfortable, well-appointed interior that’s cool and sophisticated.
The 2.3L Duratec I-4 engine produces a fun-to-drive 160 horses and 156 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, the I-4 delivers up to 23 city/31 highway mpg fuel economy,* a much-appreciated benefit these days. An available Duratec V-6 delivers an exciting 221 horsepower and 205 lb.-ft. of torque, which makes for plenty of acceleration when passing at highway speeds.
The Milan already looks great, and has great comfort and great reliability. Give the enthusiasts a version we can drive. Enthusiasts influence the common folk. I have influenced the purchase of many Ford/Mercury models over the years, in much part due to my Mystique. Let my future (hopefully) V6, 6 speed manual Milan do the same.
Air bags deployed, auto-killed the engine/fuel system... turned all the lights on and the nice and the emergency services called before I could even see straight.
Funny note: We did manage to get the automatic trunk release to work :D and it opened and closed fine, it was just alot smaller and partially in the back seat.
I'd give this car a 5 star rating not just on the crash test but also on fun, reliability and styling.
Though there is allot of plastic... Mercury somehow makes it look like leather LOL. just don't touch it... its not really that soft, but its nice to look at.
And as for the guy that said he got 21.5 to 22.0 mpg at 75... with an auto six speed *which I love* we were getting nearly 28mpg at 80mph, not sure why the difference, maybe elevation.
FOR ALL THOSE CRAZY MODDERS OUT THERE:
Yes, you can *with a miracle of sorts* fit a 5.4L V8... Eaton blower and all... under the hood of an 07 Milan, if you cut a hole large enough for the blower nose to poke out about 5 inches.... and a TKO-900 *5sp. manual transmission, yes.. that means it has cobra IRS in the rear end... and its fun! I'll have to post pics/vids of it :) for anyone who wants them, email me
Thanks for takin the time to read my review. I hope it interested at least one person!

07 Milan *stock*
09 Milan *5.4 Cobra mod*
1 problem , door sensor died . not a big deal .
mileage 21.5 -22.0 w/ac on crusing 75 MPH ON INTERSTATES .
lOCAL 21 . MPH 221 HPH ENGINE awd
Needs less chrome , no strip on trunk lid especially, to many badges etc on rear . Needs 3.5 engine , doorpad , stability control .
Thats it . If they do that , they'll make some real profits . Gated transmission , a shame ,6 speed auto and no way using engine to brake vehichle .
Move a small v8 into lincoln an maintain handling , agility etc an you 'll be moving up to bmw audi class buyers . etc .
So close but Ford is cheap
Is there anyplace I can purchase a chrome grill for this automobile.This is my only complaint,such a beautiful car with a cheap looking spray painted silver grill ( I think its called hillbilly chrome). .What a shame the company did not want to spend the extra money and electro plate this item..
