Bingo!!!!!! Great post! Audio, whether it is home or automobile is always the subject of debate. Everyone has their own opinions on what sounds best to them. A perfect example is Mirage home audio. I love the omnipolar sound, but realize that most people prefer direct radiating speakers. You simply cannot compare home audio speakers to car audio speakers. Your home setup is in a controlled environment and your speakers are in controlled closures made to the manufacturers specs. Car audio has to be versatile. My preference given the two speakers you named above is hands down the MB Quart. While JL makes phenominal subs, I do not like their speakers. MB Quart is the opposite. I do not like the MB Quart subs and never have. Have you looked at any other brands such as Focal? Just go into a shop and listen to the different speakers on the same setup. I can assure you that you will immediately have a preference of one over the other. Do not take anyone else's opinions on which speaker sounds best. It's a huge mistake.

Thanks for the quick responses. I prefer the Milan styling over the Fusion so I'll probably eat the extra money to get what I want. I have yet to see one or drive one in person. One of my employees has a 2008 Fusion. I'm hoping the materials have been substantially upgraded. I wasn't very fond of the rubbery dash and it's cheap look. What did impress me is the lack of any rattles whatsoever. The car seemed "bullet proof". Pulling the trigger will be extremely hard on two fronts. I've never paid more than $500 over invoice and more importantly I currently have a 2007 G35 Sedan Sport. Moving from a vehicle with tons of hp going to the rear wheels and incredible handling to a FWD car that is slow as molasses will be a huge change. I absolutely love my G35. Reality is I have 3 small children and only drive my car to and from work and the daycare. Weekends it's minivan central. The Milan will allow me to take HOV and save me upwards of $3,000 a year in fuel. I have to fill the G35 with premium gas and I usually fill up twice a week averaging 18-19mpg.

None of the Ford dealers in the DC area have been willing to come off of MSRP. I found a Mercury dealer willing to sell a fully loaded Milan with the packages mentioned above plus the remote start for $31,995 + TT&T. That's $1,425 off MSRP which sounds pretty good from what I've been reading, but that also put's it right at the Fusion MSRP with the 502A package. Just curious why the Milans price is so much higher.

Why is the Milan's MSRP priced at $1,480 above the Fusion when equipped the same? Milan 300A & 58N Fusion 502A
