mguerci Report post Posted June 25, 2007 On the Fusion the gauge bezels are plastic painted silver. What color are the bezels on the Milan? In some pictures they are shown chrome and others they are the same as the Fusion. Unfortunately I don't have a Mercury dealer near me to go look. I know the ones on the MKZ are chrome, but the fuel and temp gauges are different than the Fusion. Has anyone look around at aftermarket\custom gauge bezels?

mguerci Report post Posted June 25, 2007 I saw this picture also. However, I also the attached picture in which they don't look chrome. Have you seen one in person? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each gauge bezel is surrounded by bright chrome finish exactly as the picture I posted shows. The screen shot you posted is from the Mercury website animation... you'll notice everything in that animation looks dulled out (still cool animation though).

mguerci Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Along the same lines, do you know if the analog clock in the Milan is any different than the clock in the Fusion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meelaan Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Along the same lines, do you know if the analog clock in the Milan is any different than the clock in the Fusion? They appear to be identical... bright chrome surrounding ring with dark face and light hands & hour notches. The dash differs mainly in available trim pieces... Fusion has the "piano black" whereas Milan doesn't. Milan has the aluminum whereas Fusion doesn't. Milan has an optional Wales Mahogany trim too.

Dyoct Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Does anyone else think that the bezel in the Fusion should be chrome? That was one of my suggestions when I saw the pre-production model with the appearance package back in '05. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one of my suggestions when I saw the pre-production model with the appearance package back in '05. I think Ford holds off on having those types of visual elements on the Fusion because it's the highest production CD3 after all. They also have to have things like that in the Milan/MKZ to make those smaller production vehicles not just more distinct, but more attractive to the consumer. Minor aesthetics like that then justify those vehicles having a bit higher price tag due to these details having a more limited availability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
