I've been reading these editorials for a few months now, the author spells out ingredients for a new Cougar exactly how I would do it. Unfortunatley it just seems too logical to happen.

Thoughts?

 

pretty cool.

I think it would be great to see the mustang chassis shared and make a more luxery version of our beloved car.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

this wont happen, ford is to stupid to do this.

 

Uh Could have fooled me...aren't they still running overtime to keep up with the demand for the Mustang? Not to mention they also build the Mazada 6 there

 

Given that you are already starting to see rebates on V6 Mustangs to move them, hypothetically, they could scale back production on both the Mustangs and Mazda 6 to sqeeze in 20,000 units a year of the Cougar. The benefit would be the plant would be running on 3 shifts and none of the 3 cars would have to have rebates.

 

Exactly. It's clear at this point that S197 supply has exceeded demand (just look on the dealer lots). Ford could do it with little R&D $ spent.
