Ah yes that was the concept Cougar. I've got a few more pics of that thing.

Too bad they didn't release the Cougar S. Now that still looks HOT today!

Hmmm the original Cougar concept... Well, it would've wowwed people when it first came out - definitely glad the Cougar evolved into what we love and drive today.

Angelo, yeah the Cougar S was also hawt, and those widebody kits they have in the UK are the next best thing I guess!

haha, nah i ment in general. I know shagmonkey's car when i see it. 348bhp is very sexy I'm just not a fan of going too overboard on the outside. widbody kits are kool, but when they're got stuff hanging off everywhere, thats where i draw the line. I esepcially love the lip spoiler that follows the line of the rear lights and boot. from the side it gives the car a btr look.

Oh, and the cobra misano seats he put in...*drools*

Ah k... but to be honest I've seen a higher majority of performance Cougar's coming out of the UK and Europe than our American counterparts. The widebody kits are pretty cool, not a fan of the Veilside lookalikes etc, and the Cougar S spoiler is definitely a nice look... but then, it's only when you put stupid things on Cougars that you spoil the look anyway!

A few issues, pretty much ok now. Can't get worse that it is. Anyway don't want to hijack this thread, let's keep on topic, oh and thanks for your concern.
Cheers

No worries Angelo, I'll shoot you an email

Looking back at the concept Cougar photo it's really interesting to see how that evolved into the SW model. The headlights were totally changed, the mirror shape, door handles and some of the body shape was retained and refined.

The lower grill in the front bumper would come back for the SX model, but the all glass roof would be goooooooooone.

The interior also looks like it might be quite different from what was eventually equipped.
