00:00 Mercury isn't one of those brands that just comes to mind right off the bat when looking
00:10 to buy a new vehicle, but that's okay with them because their target customer shops outside
00:14 the realm of name brands to find the products that suit their personalities and individual
00:18 needs.
00:19 Mercury has set their promotional crosshairs directly on Generation X with the Milan sedan,
00:23 injecting some spirit into the state sedan scene by wrapping the mid-sized car in the
00:27 brand's new metropolitan identity.
00:30 The dramatic waterfall grille, clean lines, and distinctive rear treatments are all indicators
00:34 of Milan's chiseled, contemporary edge.
00:37 You get a couple of options when it comes to what goes under the hood.
00:39 Standard is an inline, four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 156 pound-feet
00:45 of torque.
00:46 Want more?
00:47 Me too.
00:48 For that, we turn to the available 3.0 liter V6 that produces 221 horsepower and 205 pound-feet
00:54 of torque.
00:55 The Milan has five-speed manual or automatic transmissions to choose from, as well as a
00:59 six-speed automatic with the V6.
01:02 Also available is an all-wheel drive system for an even better driving experience, even
01:06 when the weather gets nasty.
01:08 The inside of the Milan is a bit surprising.
01:10 Available options include two-tone leather seating surfaces, contrasting stitch work,
01:14 satin aluminum finishes, Wales mahogany wood trim, a DVD-based navigation system, and satellite
01:20 radio.
01:21 The cabin manages to maintain an upscale, quality look despite its relatively low price
01:26 tag.
01:27 The 2007 Mercury Milan may not be the next breakout success story the Ford Motor Company
01:32 is prying for, but it is a nice car that will attract a certain group of people who enjoy
01:36 things simple, elegant, and not too pricey.
