Ford Cougar
The Ford Cougar is a D-segment coupé that was produced and sold in the European market between 1998 and 2002, and sold in Canada and the United States from 1999 until 2002 as the Mercury Cougar. The car was originally intended to be the third generation Probe. However, after rationalisation of the three coupés available in the United States, the Probe name was dropped in favour of the Cougar. It is an example of a sports coupé/liftback.
