What Edmunds.com says...
Senators and news anchors say American car companies aren't making fuel-efficient cars that people want to buy. They're wrong. The 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid is a serious fuel miser that's neither boring to behold nor dull to drive.
Pros
Excellent fuel economy and range, engaging handling for a hybrid, spacious interior, comfortable ride, lots of user-friendly electronic gizmos including Ford's Sync system.
Cons
Huge price premium over four-cylinder Milan.
What's new
The 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid is a new gasoline-electric variation of Mercury's midsize sedan, which itself is a mild variation of Ford's Fusion. As with all other 2010 Milans, the Hybrid benefits from this year's updates, which include more distinct styling and greatly improved interior controls.
