GRAND MARQUIS: No changes.

MILAN: A tire pressure monitoring system is now standard. New options include a reverse-sensing system to aid parking, ambient interior lighting, MercurySync, which provides Bluetooth phone and media player connectivity, and five new colors.

MONTEGO: Renamed. See SABLE.

SABLE: Just as the Ford Five Hundred becomes the Ford Taurus for 2008, Mercury's Five Hundred twin, the Montego, adopts the name of the former Taurus twin, the Sable. Like the 2008 Five Hundred, the 2008 Sable gets a new 3.5 liter engine, revised styling and other improvements.
