Overview & Reviews
Exterior and interior changes are extensive for the Cougar. At first glance outside, you'll notice new front and rear fascias, new headlights with a projector and reflector system, a new grille, a new spoiler, new foglights and 16-inch painted or 17-inch machined aluminum wheels. New clearcoat metallic colors include Dark Shadow Grey, Tropic Green, French Blue and Sunburst Gold. Later in the year, two special editions -- the Cougar Zn and C2 -- will be offered.
- Unique styling, solid handling, large cargo space.

This Cats a Dog, but I Love it Anyway - 2001 Mercury Cougar
By B. Grimms - March 4 - 10:00 amSome owners seem anxious to complain about their Cougar; maybe Ive just had good luck. Other than the Duratec leaving something to be desired, I couldnt be much happier. After test driving a Celica, Eclipse, and other coupes, I decided on this domestic V6. Ive been impressed by its handling, comfort, and interior design. The pick-up is tepid, however, and I felt compelled to replace the obviously fake scoop. I chose the Zn, but customized most of the special features anyway. Im not sure Id go with yellow again, but its easy to spot in a parking lot. Until I have my midlife crisis, kids or both, Im planning on enjoying this car for awhile.
