"loved the utility, feel, and look of a 4 door car but the Cougar just drove so well!"

Hey thats an idea, the handling of a Cougar in a 4-door. "Hmm, lets call it Contour! They will sell like hotcakes in the U.S. because Mericans' really appreciate a fine handling compact car and could care less about driving a 4WD behemouth to show off there wealth and intimidate the smaller vehicles they tailgate."
