2010 Mercury Milan

What's new about the 2010 Mercury Milan? This thinly disguised clone of the Ford Fusion gets revised Mercury-themed styling and gains its own copy of the donor-car’s terrific gas-electric hybrid powertrain. Besides the 41/36-mpg hybrid, Milan updates its conventional four-cylinder engine (23/34) and teams it with a new six-speed automatic transmission; the V-6 version has standard all-wheel drive.

Should I Consider It? Yes. It’s a bit fancier than the Fusion and hardly more expensive similarly equipped.
