Re: Should Mercury make a new Cougar?

I say yes. But change the interior. it's going to need to have the V6 option becuase of the times simply. you make something in only V8+ not going to make to many sales. but along with the V6 old poerformance options liek the eliminator need to be brought in and the interior needs to speek to me almost liek a mercedes and the exterior needs to make me feel like i'm going to piss myself out of fear. the cougar was a classy mustang, till i think '73 when they stopped using the mustang chassis. this was also the end of it's name as a muscle car.

and if peoepl don't think highly of you with a '68 xr7 then they don't know a damn fine car when they see one. bunch of douche's they are i say.

Yes they did. It was a decent car and still failed in the marketplace.

Imo the "Cougar" name is dead. According to Wikidictionary, cougar means: A woman of middle age who actively seeks the casual companionship of younger (typically less than 30-year-old) males.

This term has pretty much been confirmed by recent TV shows like "Cougartown".

And who wants to drive a car named after a horny old lady?
