Driving the 2005 Mercury Montego Is Like Feeling the Icy Hand of Death on You

Normally we wouldn't regard yet another review of Mercury's new Montego as noteworthy. But Dan Neil, writing for the LA Times created such a string of metaphorical masterpieces, that this piece may be the best thing we've read all week. To wit:

"A car whose lack of charisma is so dense no light can escape its surface..."

"...the Montego's version of upscale is of the Korean off-shore casino variety."

"The faux -grain interior trim looks like it came off a prison lunch tray."

"Overall, the car has a profoundly geriatric feeling about it, like it was built with a swollen prostate."

But wait, there's more.
