I just went out to www.mercuryvehicles.com and saw that the Milan Premier 4-cylinder 5-speed manual is no longer available. The only Milan to have a 5-speed manual is a base model. Oh well. I guess I'll either have to keep my '07 for a while or go back to Foreign makes. Replies to this message: akirby (Aug 07, 2008 7:46 pm) exner60 (Aug 08, 2008 4:22 am) akirby (Aug 08, 2008 4:43 am)

Replying to: akirby (Aug 07, 2008 7:46 pm) I hope so. Maybe it's just a case of limiting final-model-year options. I find it quite foolish, in our current situation with gas at $4.00/gallon, that Ford would want to get rid of one of its most fuel-efficient models.

Replying to: exner60 (Aug 08, 2008 4:22 am) That's why I think it's related to the short model year and the fact that the 5 speed is being replaced by the 6 speed. Could just be a supply problem.
