Unfortunately, Ford has a history of "messing up" their "niche" cars. Remember the Merkur Scorpio and XR4ti? More recently, 1. the Marauder, with no 400 HP engine option. Also, no two-door convertible. 2. The under-powered Thunderbird. 3. No "standard" 300 HP 4.6/5.4 engine output. 4. Not releasing the Phaeton Explorer that I had seen at a consumer-research clinic. 5. The probe. Possibly the name. 6. The Cougar, underpowered and under-advertised.
