Title: Behold, The New 2008 Cougar!
Post by: EricCoolCats on July 20, 2007, 10:02:45 AM
...err, "Kuga":

http://jalopnik.com/cars/frankfurt-auto-show/ford-bringing-iosis-x+based-kuga-to-europe-for-2008-280101.php

Looks like Ford of Europe has been drinking plenty of WTF.

But hey, at least it's now spelled like some of you East Coasters say it. :hick:

Ok, you ain't going to like this.... but.... I think it's pretty cool looking. I do like the rims and the way the doors open.

Is it a Cougar? Hell no! But, it's one of the better looking cross over type vehicles I've seen so far.

Isn't that the same interior that was in the Lincoln SUV concept?

I wasn't fooled for a second. :flip:
 
I figured it was more of those amatuer concept drawings which look SO awesome, but never fear Ford will ignore them.
 
And yes I wouldn't touch a "Kuga" with a 10-foot pole.

I don't like the front end or the mirrors. They look like Piccolo's antennas.

:mad: Dammit. I thought the email I've been sending them on a daily basis finally caught someone's attention.
 
Reminds me of the Isuzu SUV from a few years ago.

One of the best looking crossovers i saw was 2 years ago at the detroit auto show, the reflex. I wish they would actually produce it it.

I concur that is does look different, LOVE the doors. Why do we always get the  looking cars, or those with no thought to em?

No its probably because we have been metaphorically eating the  they feed us, if we did not buy they would have to change something.

I think it looks HOT! It's got a mean look and I  would totally buy it. They are not going to produce the beautiful cougars of the past, which is why we all need to take of them so  future generations can see the style of the past and admire them the way we admire the classics.

hmmm this has me thinking abit though.  Because before ford brought the Fusion out... They released a crossover called a fusion in europe.  Maybe a new cougar car will be released in the states within the year to follow suit.


NAAAA, ford wouldnt do that
