I’m kinda surprised that someone even cares about these. Good on ya kid.

Numbers 2,3 and 4 are all better than # 1. But I think #3 is the best as well.

I will not call it what we use to call that generation Cougar when they were still on the show room floors. They have earned some respect over the years.

I vote #4. That last generation Cougar was certainly a different kind of cat. But I kinda liked em!

#3 for sure. Fun to see another person who has one of these cars on here. We have one that is a 35th anniversary model.

This was also the first hatchback Cougar, and the first to have its own body, unshared by any Ford (except its European twin Ford Cougar). The body design used a philosophy Ford marketed as “New Edge” design: a combination of organic upper body lines with sharp, concave creases in the lower areas. The Cougar’s body, and the New Edge idea in general, was introduced as a concept called the Mercury MC2 in 1997 and was considered a bigger version of the European Ford Puma.

and it was the first front wheel drive Cougar?
