Ok, my personal peeve I know.

This has bothered me since they were released a few years ago. Rewind to the 60's era. The mercury cougar was the equivalent of a ford mustang. Much the same that nowdays we have the explorer vs mountaineer similarities.

Why then is the mercury cougar now a totally different car then the mustang. They didn't even bother to rename it.

Just wondering if anybody had some insight on this.

p.s. Yes I know they weren't "exactly" the same.
