Rumor of *another* "New Cougar" December 25, 2004, 09:10:51 AM I heard about this on another board from a guy I'd expect to be rather uninformed, but he told me they're making another "new cougar". Is there ANYTHING behind this rumor? Is this the long awaited Messenger showcar? Something else entirely? Or another flaming pile of thrown at us like the NEC?I didn't see anything about it with a search, but there's the last New Cougar to deal... Sorry if it's a Quote Selected

Re: Rumor of *another* "New Cougar" Reply #10 – December 26, 2004, 01:57:56 PM Ok, he gave me the source of his rumor, Aug 2004 issue of HotRod magazine. It's talking about the "2007 Cougar". I don't want to host pics if I can just link to their story, so if I find it I'll edit this post Quote Selected

Even though I would offer that the headlights look out of place on the car - not assertive enough. Quote Selected

It's talking about the "2007 Cougar". That article was just telling Detroit what kinds of cars they need to make. Granted Hot Rod was right about the Cougar, but I'm too cynical to believe that anyone in Detroit is gonna care what they think. Quote Selected
Re: Rumor of *another* "New Cougar" Reply #13 – December 28, 2004, 12:52:40 AM Acura headlights really don't go on a Mercury. I wouldn't care if it were something that made the front end look better, but they just don't carry the lines of the car, they look horribly out of place. Besides, they scream Acura, not Cougar. Yeah, I realized when he sourced a magazine that it's pretty much a false rumor; but since I perpetuated it, I had to say it here even though we know that it'll have a snowball's chance...
