yeah, they won't pull off a successor to the capri while they keep trying to save money by using a FWD floorpan/drivetrain. the cougar and probe both fell on their arse for this reason imho.

Although perversely the Puma was awesome. Apparently there was still a waiting list when they stopped making it.

[Y282]

agreed the puma was really good at what it did. i remember it hitting tigra (remember those?) values really hard when it came out as it outclassed it in every way.

still no capri though. anyone who remembers the capri as a new/contemporary car will remember the social reputation that went with it. not many cars since have done that in the same relative price range.

It was supposed to be the ford Cougar, that went down like a lead balloon

Probe 2 - the sequel.

Ford managed to make the Mazda MX6 worse with the Probe and customers stayed away. So they did it again with the Cougar. Bonkers.

Your right its the Probe I ment.
