When did Ford stop making the Mercury Milan?

The Mercury Milan was produced from 2006 to 2011. It was developed as the smaller of two sedans intended to replace the Mercury Sable. The Milan was marketed as the entry-level Mercury sedan and was slotted below the full-sized Mercury Montego and Mercury Grand Marquis. It was the Mercury counterpart of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. The Milan was produced solely as a four-door sedan and did not offer a station wagon, marking the first time since 1940 that Mercury did not offer one. The Milan shared its platform with the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ.
In 2010, with the discontinuation of the Mercury brand, the Milan became identical to its Ford counterpart. The decision to end production of the Mercury brand was due to factors such as the cost of keeping Mercury around and the need to free up production capacity. Ford sold fewer than 93,000 Mercury models in 2009, compared to a peak of 580,000 in 1978.
