Also debuting later this year will be 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ mid-size sedans, along with the new 2010 Fusion Hybrid and Milan Hybrid. Coming in the 2009 calendar year are the first applications...
Years ago, when I lived up north, I drove a car that had no air conditioning for about eight years. It was a 1987 Mercury Lynx, and was a great ride for all that it did get a little warm...
“No” was Charlie’s not unsurprising response—-with his eyebrows (no other word describes it) furrowed—-when I told him we’d have to drive the bluish Mercury Milan parked across the condo parking lot. Jim had rented it late Thursday night at Newark airport and I’m sure Charlie had paid it no attention when he got on the [...]
After spending a little over a week and a half in our test fleet, we found the 2009 Mercury Mariner Hybrid to be a good contender in this segment, but not something we’re eager to drive on a daily basis. For the new model year, Ford has bumped up the power of the four-cylinder gasoline motor to 175 horsepower, acceleration is still quite slow. On top of that, the weak engine mated to continuously...
Filed under: Concept Cars , Etc. , Euro , Volkswagen Click above for a high-res gallery of the VW Touareg North Sails Volkswagen has treaded carefully down the path first blazed by the largely ignored Mercury Villager Nautica with a sailing-themed Touareg concept that has debuted at the famous Travemünder Woche, which we're told is the second largest annual race week for sailing in Germany. Teaming...
In possibly the most humiliating defeat for France since the whole Algerian débâcle, a French car lost a Project Car Hell challenge to American machinery, with the '61 Simca Aronde getting crushed beneath the rusted hulks of a pair of Lincoln Continentals... and that's with the Simca getting some help from one of the finest PCH commenter tirades we've ever seen (notice hereby given: Graverobber has...
Once again, spies caught the 2009 Mercury Milan cruising the streets of Michigan. The taillight cluster has been reconfigured, but clearly the overall shape remains the same — dashing any hopes for a more significant redesign. With the future of the Mercury brand uncertain past 2012, the 2009 Milan could be the last new model [...]

Mainly because Jamie did it first . Pictures are not the actual vehicles, but merely the best representations I could find of what they actually looked like. The first was a 1985 Mercury Lynx, aka Ford Escort, with four on the floor and featuring one option -- FM. The car had a double-size heater, but no air conditioning -- perfect for Minnesota, from whence it had come, but exactly the opposite of...
Salim Bhabhrawala figured it out when he saw that his garden hose, in an alley near his Northeast Washington, D.C., home, had been cut a few feet short. When he parked his car the night before, he had about half a tank of gas. Now, when he started up the Mercury Mariner, the low-fuel light glowed on the dashboard. He looked in the rearview mirror. The gas tank cover was wide open. "Putting two and...
Large, bright plains on the surface of Mercury hint of a violent, volcanic past, according to the latest scientific findings from the Mercury Messenger probe operated by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

Mercury's Surface Dominated by Volcanism and Iron Deficiency , NASA/JHUAP/ASU "Volcanism has played a more extensive role in shaping the surface of Mercury than scientists had thought. This result comes from multispectral imaging data gathered in January 2008 by MESSENGER, the latest spacecraft to visit the Sun's innermost planet. MESSENGER data has also identified and mapped surface rock units that...
