2008 Mercury Mariner review Perhaps it's got something to do with my office's location in the shadow of Ford's World Headquarters, or maybe compact SUVs are quickly becoming ubiquitous, but I was surprised that very few people noticed that I was driving a 2008-model Mercury Mariner. In spite of the complete redesign and flashy new oversized grille, the 2008 Mercury Mariner fades easily into the background.
With the introduction of a redesigned 2008 model upon us, we decided to spend some time with the current version of Mercury's compact SUV. The Mercury Mariner hasn't been with us long, having debuted just two years ago, but for 2008 it will nonetheless get a significant makeover.
'Didn't we just have this car?' my wife asked as she climbed into the new Mercury Mountaineer.
