#4902 of 5511 Stability control by mschmal Jun 18, 2007 (12:03 pm)
Provides no benefit vs traction control when driving in a straight line.   The difference between stability control and traction control is that the former has a yaw sensor that measures cornering forces.   If the registered yaw does not equal predicted yaw, then the car recognizes an oversteer/understeer event and applies the appropriate wheel's brake and/or reduces throttle to compensate.   Advance Trac will be on the 2009 Milan.   Mark.

#4904 of 5511 Still a Mercury? by mschmal Jun 19, 2007 (4:04 am)
You didn't read the latest JDP Initial Quality Survey? Milan was FIRST for midsized sedan and MKZ was FIRST for premium entry sedan.   Nope it wasn't Toyota.   Mark. Replies to this message: microrepair (Jun 27, 2007 8:56 am)

Replying to: urnews (Jun 19, 2007 9:57 am) Well, you will still be able to get it fixed at a Ford dealer. If Mercury goes, it will be similar to when Oldsmobile went away years ago. They are redundant cars in a company that may not be able to afford that luxury much longer. Replies to this message: akirby (Jun 19, 2007 7:38 pm) makigrl (Aug 01, 2007 2:35 am)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Jun 19, 2007 4:50 pm) Redundancy is quite affordable - dirt cheap, actually, when you consider the Fusion already did all the engineering work. Just think of the Milan as another trim package. Mercury exists right now to supply Lincoln dealers with lower end products to sell. There seems to be a concerted effort to merge the Lincoln/Mercury and Ford dealers and if that happens then the Lincoln dealer wouldn't need Ford clones anymore and could afford to make a few unique vehicles.
#4909 of 5511 Re: AWD with 4 cylinder Fusion [akirby] by microrepair Jun 27, 2007 (8:51 am)
Replying to: akirby (Jun 18, 2007 9:55 am) I've had both rear wheels on hard packed snow and ice and it might take a few seconds but so long as the car isn't pointed up a steep grade, it will gradually move. The traction control is very sensitive and even ice has "some" friction.. If it didn't you wouldn't even be able to walk on ice.   Not even 4-wheel drive will allow you to drive on snow and ice as if you are competing in the SummerNationals drag races.. Ya gotta take it slow and easy..

Replying to: mschmal (Jun 19, 2007 4:04 am) The Mazda heritage has a lot to do with that..!   I had an MX-6 in the 90's and it was AWESOME... Reliable, comfortable, economical, and ZOOM, ZOOM ! Then for a while all their cars were too small for me..! Now they are making some slightly larger vehicles again and Fusion/Milan are slightly larger than the Mazda6.. Good news for me...

I can't Believe Import Trend said something nice about the fusion. So what do you all think of this ? I wonder if they have a kit for the 4 cylinder.   Steeda Ford Fusion
