Talk:Mercury Cougar

message: Since ASC's first OEM sunroof job was on the 1968 Cougar XR-7 doesn't that mean that it was the first American car with an OEM sunroof? I would add it but I'm not 100% sure and the 1967-1973 section looks like a big blob of text.--Capnchicken 04:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 1980-1988 section infobox:  PLEASE check this for accuracy; there were a LOT of combinations, and it might make more sense to do infoboxes by "sub-year" (1980-1982, 1983-1986, 1987-1988) instead of the big one I did - I would've done this but I ran out of energy.  I wasn't able to find some specs on the 1980-1982 Cougars.  I used http://www.coolcats.net/fox/ and the text of the article (nicely, they seem to agree) to figure out the engine options.  Also used that site as the source of the length, width, curb weight, etc. information (in both the 1980-1988 and the 1989-1997 sections).  --Rmarquet 20:14, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Export Ford Cougar
Main article: Ford Cougar
With the exception of Ford Blue Oval badging replacing Cougar emblems on the exterior and interior, both Ford and Mercury versions are essentially identical. Export Cougars also have clear marker light lenses (in place of amber) and amber rear turn signals. In the United States, the Ford Cougar was built in both left and right-hand drive, with the latter allowing for its sale in the UK and Australia. 
--This is misleading as the Europe/Australia models have many features not available on the US cars such as automatic climate control. Different suspension packages were available, many vacuum based systems were replaced with electronic ones, lock systems use completely different types of keys and there are several different headlights depending on what year and where the car was sold including self leveling ones. It is more than just a logo swap...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.109.177 (talk) 06:05, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

message: I can't make heads or tails of this sentence: Aside from the base model and the luxurious XR-7, only one trim package was available for either model: the sporty GT. - superβεεcat  00:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No it doesn't - there are larger headings for the major body years, then subheadings within the years.  I don't see any overlap at all.  Look in the "Contents" box, for example. Rmarquet 12:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CougarHoodOrnament.png

message: This sentence needs to be removed "according to their official website they will be continuing the 'Cougar' name with the 'Ford Kuga' in 2008" from the ford cougar section.
This is incorrect, Yes the named a crossover SUV Kuga but its not related in any way to the Mercury/Ford Cougar and in fact the work Kuga means "plaque" in Slavic.
The link makes no mention that they are conitnuing the name as they are unrelated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.8.177.2 (talk) 21:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Point of View 

message: In Canada, I remember going to a Ford dealer and getting a Cougar brouchure in around 2001 (by which time the Cougar was sold under the Ford brand name) and it listed the Cougar S as one of the available models.  I also recall the Cougar S being listed in the Motor Trend and Carguide buyer's guides.
Are we absolutely sure it was never made?
