Mercury Montego to get a modest facelift for 2008
Ford is hoping to buy some time for its full-size Montego and Five Hundred sedans prior to a full-scale redesign in a few years. So expect a modest face-lift for the big four-doors for model year 2008. The Montego (a prototype is shown here in disguise) and its sibling will get fresh faces, including restyled grilles, headlamps and bumpers, as well as updated taillights and trim. Perhaps the most significant change will be the addition of a more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 to replace the underpowered 3.0- liter unit. The 3.5 also is being used in the new Ford Edge crossover vehicle
