The 2008 Mercury Milan gets a few new features. Milan shares its basic design with the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. It offers Base and uplevel Premier models, both available with a 160-hp 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 221-hp 3.0-liter V6. The 4-cylinder comes with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. V6 versions use a 6-speed automatic. All Milans are front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is available on V6 models. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Newly available features include rear obstacle detection and Ford's Sync voice-activated control for cell phones and MP3 players. Milan's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Fusions.
