Here's another concept car that according to my buddy, "this is NOT what it will look like.. this is simply what most of the NECO members are hoping for"
This is the MC2 Concept car, pretty nice 17" stock rims eh?

About time you said it right.. man.. talking through you is like that old kids game, whereyou sit in a circle and everyone messes up what you said.. Sheesh! 
Plans for now:
Mercury will finish out the 2002 Model Year, taking not only orders to finish the year on standard package cars, but also on C2, ZN, and XR packages. It appears the 35th Anniversary has been cut from the lineup, and they will produce a normal production amount of un-ordered Cougars.
At the end of the 2002 year, Mustang was to take over the plant in which the Cougar is currently built in (Flat Rock, MI - Auto Alliance Group). I believe it may remain just for the Mazda 626 for now, and Cougar/Mustang may take over the production lines in 2004.
Mercury, IF THEY ADVERTISE, will have a good portion of the market. In 1999 they advertised, although not much in the US.. and it was one of the highest selling cars worldwide.. they stopped ad's hoping momentum would carry over..
It did not, sales dropped, advertising never picked back up, Special Editions, although nice packages at good prices, they failed..
... yeah.. that's about all I feel like typing for now.

I would agree with you..danmakG60 said:
Unfortunately the Concept MC2 and the production Cougar were designed in 96/97 and released in 98 for the Production year of 1999. The Cougar S Prototype models were all designed in 1998 and shown in 2000.
The Audi TT was designed in 99 and released in 2000.
Also note, the new Celica was redesigned and released in 2000 (1 year after the Cougar), as was the Eclipse.
The Cougar was the first to have that definate shape..
You wanna talk about ripping off.. tell Hyundai that Mercury, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Saturn, and many other car companies want their royalties from the design of the new Tiburon.
