I don't know Cougars and don't want to either but I will have to say this thread is not a ringing endorsement for them. Rarely are nearly all posts negative like these are. I would listen to the GRM brotherhood and pass on this one.
Oh ya on a side note...............I think it's disgusting that Ford would put the Cougar name on one of these things. The big three were famous for that nonsense, they all did it, LeMans, Challenger, Cougar come to mind (and probably a whole lot more) and all ended up on some little **** box that had nothing to do with the original. Way to go Detroit.
