Solid midsize sedan, available with all-wheel drive.
2007 Milan Review Summary & Specifications
The Mercury Milan is a thoroughly nice family car and we think it's an excellent choice in its price range. From the waterfall grille up front to the brushed metallic trim all over the interior, this is a Ford platform upgraded to Mercury status, with more standard equipment and more soul than the Ford version, the Fusion.NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw filed this report from Dearborn, Michigan.
