Ford's Cougar is a new age cruiser for those who want to be noticed. Another of the 'new edge' designs from the Blue Oval, it is a stately sports car, but not in the same performance league as some rivals. The US build quality was fine on the test car, with the exception of some shoddy trim finish in the back seat, and the paint quality was good. The engine lugs a hefty body and performance is spirited rather than wicked. There is enough urge for rapid overtaking moves and plenty of versatility around town.
