So is the 4cyl Milan worth an extra $1000? Well, it's at least as good as a Fusion SE and we don't know what Ford will charge for that yet... OR the SEL, which doesn't quite match either Milan model. I'd have done it a bit differently (make it easier to get puddle-lights!) but... Add in a different grille and interior trim kit (check with aftermarket prices for those) and the other little touches. If those differences are to your taste then, like me, you probably consider a grand for a factory-customized Fusion to be a deal.
note: The v6 Milan is only $720 more than the v6 Fusion (SE), and |
How much is the Zephyr worth over and above the Milan Premier? Harder question. First we don't yet know the price of the Premier. We know the base v6 Milan is 21,995. The Montego adds $2,200 for its Premier version*. So the v6 Milan Premier should easily be $24k+ w/o options, making the Zephyr less than a $6,000 step up. Hmmm... It might be very interesting to compare the prices of the Avalon & LS.
