Mercury Milan

The Milan was unveiled at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show on February 9. Earlier, at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show, a hybrid version was announced for the 2008 model year. As the Ford Fusion Hybrid has been pushed back to 2008 as a 2009 model, the Mercury Milan hybrid will most likely not be seen until then. Pricing starts at $19,490 for the base model. "Premier" labeled vehicles are available in either four or six cylinder versions allowing buyers to get interior features (leather, cruise, power seat) and exterior features (17" wheels, fog lights, defroster mirrors) normally reserved for the larger (and more expensive) powertrain. Pricing of Premier models is on par with fully loaded Fusion cars
