Jeremy Clarkson is driving Ford Cougar in classic old top gear

Do you remember this car? The Ford Cougar is a coupe that was produced and sold in the European market between 1998 and 2002, and sold in Canada and the United States from 1999 to 2002 as the Mercury Cougar. The car was originally intended to be the third generation Probe, but after a rationalization of the three coupés available in the United States, the Probe name was dropped in favor of the Cougar. It is an example of a sports coupe/liftback. The Cougar came equipped with the 2.0 litre 16 valve 2.0 L Zetec or 2.5 litre, 24 valve Duratec V6 engines with two specification levels, largely equivalent to a Mondeo Ghia (standard) and Ghia X (simply X). Manual and automatic transmissions were available. All variants came with 16 inch alloy wheels as standard. Ford Cougar rear three-quarter view The 2.0 litre version had 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) as standard, while the 2.5 was rated at 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp). The Cougar was Ford's second attempt to reintroduce a sports coupe in Europe, in the same vein as the successful but long absent Capri – the first attempt having been the Mazda MX-6 based Probe. Just as the Capri had been based on the Cortina, the Cougar was based on the large family car available at the time, the Mondeo. It went on sale in Europe in December 1998 to mixed reviews, partly due to the then new and controversial New Edge styling, a crisp style which was subsequently applied to most of the Ford range. Unlike its famous forebearer, the Capri, Cougar sales were never brisk, despite good reports of the model as a "driver's car". Do you have one? Do you have driven one?
