Talk:Mercury Milan

message: Did the Milan replace the Sable, or did the Montego? Both articles claim their respective vehicle replaced the Sable. I'm leaning toward the Montego, as the Sable was never available with a 4-cylinder, while the Milan is and the Montego is not. --69.208.149.86 19:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the Sable WAS available with a four cylinder. The Montego is decidedly bigger than the Sable, while the Milan is slightly smaller. I'm leaning towards Milan as the replacement, since the Montego seems to be more of a fullsize car, but, being a FWD V6, slotting below the Marquis. --Sable232 18:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction

message: montego is same price range as sable
milan is cheaper. the milan replaces the mystique.
Look people: Car pricing, engine size, name, etc. have nothing to do with classification of a passenger vehicle. It's about wheelbase and interior volume. The Mystique hasn't even been built for seven years. The Montego is classified as a full size car. The Sable is classified as a midsize car. The Milan is classified as a midsize car. The Mystique is classified as a compact car. --Heavy 18:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Montego replacced the sable 

message: The cars are judged in terms of their segment which is based on the size of the vehicle.  The Milan replaced the Sable.  The Montego is in the same class as the Grand Marquis.
== According to Ford Motor Company ==
The Milan and Montego together effectively replace the Sable as the Five Hundred and Fusion together effecively replace the Taurus.  Niether vehicle alone replaces just one of the models.  The Focus was intended to be the replacement for the Contour as well as the Escort as it slots between the two in size.
== Misleading ==
""Premier" labeled vehicles are available in either four or six cylinder versions offering features such as power leather seats, cruise control, 17-inch wheels, fog lights, and defroster mirrors."
The cruise control and defroster mirrors are standard on ALL Milans, They don't even MAKE steering wheels that don't have a spot for the cruise and stereo controls. The other options don't require the Premiere, the Premiere is just a package that includes all the features at once.  My non-Premiere is equipped with the 17" aluminum 14-spokes, leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather seats with cloth centers and power, 6-cd with Sirius, fog lights, etc...  The only possible thing I can think of that requires you buy the whole Premiere package is dual power leather heated seats. 66.168.78.80 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 23:28, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's definitely wrong the way it's written, because there are plenty of "parts" shared by the various models well beyond cosmetic sheetmetal. IFCAR (talk) 22:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think then that's more misleading -- the way I read it, it was mentioning that of the exterior sheet metal, the doors are the only shared component.  Plenty of shared interior components, but exterior sheet metal varies. A quick parts lookup shows the MKZ, Fusion, and Milan all share the same roof -- callout 50202A. 66.168.78.80 (talk) 01:05, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Normally, the EPA doesn't produce different figures by wheel size, but in this case, the 2010 Milan (17" wheels) and 2010 Milan S (16" wheels) have different entries on www.fueleconomy.gov.  But then, the 2011 Milan has different numbers altogether, so it gets confusing. --Vossanova o< 21:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm thinking there's more to it than just the wheel -- the 16" wheels were only available on base models (which also offered a manual transmission), while Premier got standard 17" -- along with many more features that added to the weight of the vehicle and automatic transmissions being the only option.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.31.248.132 (talk) 08:38, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Misleading 

message: "Contrary to popular belief, the only common parts shared by all 3 vehicles are the doors, all other sheet metal being proprietary to each car."   What about the roof panels? I'm fairly certain considering they all share doors, windshield sizes, and rear window sizes, the roofs will all be the same (Windshield on the MKZ is thicker, but same shape) 66.168.78.80 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Factuality of Statement 

message: From the fuel economy table:
23 mpg-US (10 L/100 km; 28 mpg-imp)
34 mpg-US (6.9 L/100 km; 41 mpg-imp) (16" wheels);
22 mpg-US (11 L/100 km; 26 mpg-imp)
31 mpg-US (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg-imp) (17" wheels)
Anyone know where the 16" information comes from? That seems like a pretty big difference just to put down to a change in wheel size. Are the 16" tires fitted with low rolling resistance tires or something? 63.120.61.11 (talk) 22:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
