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?

Not really. You might find one or two features but for the most part they're identical with only cosmetic differences. Mercury has been that way for several years.
 
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.

Doesn't sound like Mercury will have very much to offer. Still wouldn't be surprised to see Ford discontinue the brand altogether. These are touch times and things are only going to get tougher for the next few years. Boz

Remember they're bringing over some of the European brands and I'm sure some of those will end up as Mercury's.
 
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.

Their are two factors stopping Ford from shutting down Merc:
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.

Ford is actively combining Ford and Lincoln/Mercury dealers (and shutting down others). They've shut down or combined over 500 since 2006 and 150 this year alone. As long as the combined dealers are good I don't see a big problem. They can still have a separate area or building for Lincoln but business wise it doesn't force them to sink or swim on L/M sales alone.
 
It will also help that Lincoln and Mercury will no longer be rebadged Fords.

At Hayward Ford they have separate showroom for Lincoln-Mercury. And buy the way I found it much better than former standalone LM dealirship on the same street.
 
At Fremont Ford I did not see that LM is separated from Ford. But Mazda has both separate showroom (in same building) and separate service adviser.

The new 2.5 4cyl by scape2

is going to be a very hot seller. I figure more peopel will go with the 4cyl over the 3.0. This beings that the 2.5 is going to be putting out about 175-180HP and get better MPG than the present 2.3 4cyl engine. Ford is finally headed in the right direction when it comes to engines. Even the new updated/re-worked 3.0 is going to put out about 240HP and still get better MPG than the present 3.0. Well, guess I can look forward to a trade-up in about 3 years..
