Does Ford still make the Cougar?

No, Ford does not currently make the Cougar. The Ford Cougar was a sports coupe that was produced by Ford Europe from 1998 to 2001. It was based on the Ford Mondeo, which was a large family car available at the time. The Cougar was Ford’s second attempt to reintroduce a sports coupe in Europe, following the Mazda MX-6 based Probe. The European version of the Cougar was sold with the Ford badge on it, while in the United States, it was sold as the Mercury Cougar.
The Cougar was available with a choice of two engines: an inline-four and a V6. However, the inline-four engine was considered too weak compared to its Japanese competitors, and the V6 engine was seen as thirsty and low on performance.
It’s worth noting that the Cougar nameplate has a longer history, with the first Mercury Cougar being introduced in 1967. The Mercury Cougar was a successful vehicle that provided both performance and comfort. However, the last generation of the Mercury Cougar was produced from 1998 to 2002 and was sold outside of the United States as the Ford Cougar.
In summary, while Ford no longer produces the Cougar, it had a history as a sports coupe in Europe and as a Mercury vehicle in the United States .
