You are in the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| I considering a fusion "s" purchase, (like the wheels more than the ones on the se). I don't know if the base radio that comes with it is "satellite ready"..has anyone had a dealer install a satellite receiver to their base "s" model? | |
| I was at the dealership having my transmission fluid changed and decided to walk the lot. Came across a 2010 Fusion Hybrid in black. As I was going over the car a sales person came over of course. I told him right away I was having my 06 Fusion serviced and was just curious. He offered a test drive of the Hybrid. I jumped at the chance. Wow, This car was very quiet, very solid, very well engineered. I could not feel when the engine or the electric engine was on, the only way was the dash readout. The interior fit/finish was superb. If I were in the market, this car would easily be at the top of my list for a replacement of my 06 Fusion. This car is going to be in very high demand. | |

Hi =) I am planning to buy either a Fusion I-4 SEL fully loaded or a Milan I-4 Premier fully load (both without navigation). Fusion comes out to approx. $26,500 and Milan to approx $27,000. Therefore I am asking, regardless of price, which car is better? I have done research and the engines, specs, features, and dimensions are the exact same to precise detail (length, width, etc.), but besides for the looks I cannot find any differences between these cars (virtually). I checked out the fusion at several dealerships and its a very well designed car but I am just curious to whether the Milan is any better being that Mercury is supposed to be a more luxury associated brand. In addition, does anyone who has test drove both cars in I-4 version notice any difference between ride quality of either cars (same engine), just curious...though I'll probably find out myself in a couple of days. If someone could help me out with a comment it would be greatly appreciated. Also just curious of which car (with same features and all) everyone else thinks is better. The 2010 Fusion or 2010 Milan?

Replying to: kev22 (Jul 15, 2009 11:11 pm) Unfortunately, this leads to one of the fundamental problems of Mercury: struggling for it's own identity between the bread-and-butter Ford division, and the upscale Lincoln division. IMO, they should have taken a few models from the Euro line and sold them as Mercury-branded cars from Day One. I'd sure be interested in the Mondeo or the European Focus, and I'm sure that others would be as well.

The Euro focus is already on it's way and the next gen Fusion and Mondeo will be built on the same global platform. The Euro Fiesta is also coming next year with few changes from the Euro version. You don't need a U.S. and Euro Focus, Fiesta or Fusion/Mondeo - that's too expensive and unnecessary. Mercury will either die a slow death or it will get unique vehicles not sold by Ford or Lincoln. And that won't be decided for a few more years. Depends on how quickly they get Ford first and then Lincoln back on their feet and how the market trends.

I also agree on the platform sharing, something that Ford should have done years ago as well.

Thank You for the information and feedback This clears up any anxiety I had of choosing one car over the other, and I will most likely go with the fusion as my next car. Thank You again, much appreciated =)
