what do u think?

jakegday · 09-07-2006, 07:43 PM

i dont really care how it looks, modern/retro, they tried retro with the new mustang i still think it looks more modern then retro, if they do bring it back theres only 1 thing im asking for, a v8 5 speed

Hell ya and comes standered w/ a turbo

my99cavy · 09-07-2006, 11:16 PM

Standard V8 turbo with a 5spd

Oh and BTW I voted Yes, with modern styling

Yes, and there needs to be a V8! I voted for a mix of modern and retro styling.

I agree with you on that one!

cf3377 · 10-14-2006, 09:45 PM

they should only make one if they fire the designers who did the 99-03. i have a 99 and its nothing but problems. lets see it has 100K on it and i changed the alternator 4 times, front brakes 4 times, intake manifolds, fuel runners cam shaft sensors,raditor and suspension bushings. that is what i can think of off the top of my head.

Hell yeah Ford should make a new cougar with a twin turbocharged engine and all wheel drive and with a 6-speed manual transmission !
If any of y'all agree with me hit me back.

nothing but problems? i didnt like no ford products until i got my 99 cougar. i bought it with over 200k miles on it. i bought the damn thing off a good buddy for $200. i replace the tires, and plugs and wires, and mafs and it still is going strong, and i drive that thing hard too. i agree with the 6spd, and a supercharged v8 option, with a 3.2l v6 turbo standard.

a new cougar is great as long as ford releases something with better quality than that last pile they sold us.

cougar4life · 10-22-2006, 11:28 PM

I just have to mention my cougar is not a pile and I beat the crap out of the poor thing. Very few problems and 75,000 miles on it so far. :knocks on wood:

rivguy · 10-22-2006, 11:30 PM

not all of them were bad - just see a lot of them that are - biggest problem was the bang for the buck new - people bought em that couldn't afford the maint. and they went to **** cause of it

jakegday · 10-23-2006, 05:39 PM

the 99's and 2000's have all the problems, the 01's and 02's are perfectly fine

Hell yeah they should make a new cougar! I love my 99...I've only had one thing go wrong. Every since then she's been running like a champ!

I had a 99 cougar with no options for about a year then I decided I wanted something with more options so I traded it for an optioned out 01. My cougar has had very few problems. The only major problem was covered by the fuel pump recall.
