about 4 months ago, i trade my 04 focus for a fusion. i also have an explorer. one of the reasons(justifications) was that for 4 people we had to take the explorer on trips. so i decided to give up some every day gas mileage for better than the explorer on trips. i also was looking for a car that was awd and i could fit in the back seat(don't fit in the back of a focus). originally, i thought i would be getting a small suv. when i started there was about 3k miles on the car. the trip was 4 people from central ct to western pa and back. lots of hills, highest point 2250 ft above sea level. we ran the a/c about 75% of the time and averaged 26 mpg. the explorer would have averaged about 18. i sat in the back for a couple 3 hours stints. there was enough head room and plenty of leg room for me(over 6ft). even when my wife was driving 80, there wasn't much wind or road noise and my mother seated next to me in the back, had no clue we were going that speed. anyways, i think it worked out pretty well and will only get better.

Correctly or not, I have the impression that the Mercury line is supposed to be slightly more upscale/polished/whatever than their Ford counterparts. But are there any specifics when comparing the Fusion and the Milan that would support this notion? - Robert -

Replying to: ponggod (Aug 27, 2008 9:14 am) The future plan for Mercury is to sell smaller premium vehicles while Lincoln focuses on larger premium vehicles. The Mercury Sable is gone after next year along with the Mountaineer and there are no Mercury versions of the new Flex e.g.

Replying to: urnews (Aug 27, 2008 11:16 am) With the shift towards fuel economy it will now be viable to offer premium versions of smaller cars (B and C size) that would not have worked before. You should check out the 2010 Fusion I4 - best in class fuel economy for both the regular and hybrid version, according to Ford. |

Replying to: urnews (Aug 27, 2008 11:16 am) 1- GM paid out $1B to shut down Olds. It ain't cheap to shut down a car line. 2- Who will sell Lincolns if Merc is out? Dealers won't put up with Lincolns only and Ford may not want to move the line to Ford dealers. Paul
