Look at the ford puma and the mercury cougar

the puma is of course the cougar and the cougar looks like an RX-8 rip off to me

They got their pics backwards...the pic of the Puma is actually a Cougar and vise versa

From a small cat, we go to a bigger one. This elder sibling of the Puma was not half as fun as the smaller one. Partly because the 125 bhp 2000 CC unit is underpowered for this rather large car built on the Mondeo platform

Yeah, I think he's right. That's no mondeo platform mate. Looks more like it shares the Focus or Ka platform.

Yup, the names don't match the pics.  The Puma is actually the size of a 1980s Honda CRX.  Pretty neat little car in person, better than any Civic.

You see a lot of interesting cars when you visit the Barnes and Noble in Dearborn, MI at an odd time of night. The Puma was pretty sweet, had a lot of style and looks like it would handle, steer and brake like a go-cart.

Oddly enough I've been to Europe a coupla times, never seen a Puma or a Cougar.  Hmm, that's pretty wierd now that I think about it!
