Hypothetical Q

Sep 28, 2007 6 Replies

S'pose 'twere 1995, and you needed to buy a new at-or-near-full-size Ford-product passenger cah-cah.



Would you choose an MN12 (TBird, Cougar) or a Panther (Crown Vic, GM, Lincoln TC)?



Why?



Cheers, Peetie


What an interesting question. I'm not sure how to answer. I'd probably have bought a Cougar because I like its looks. Of course, if you were asking my 1995 self, I'd have gone CV. I was a goofy 20 y.o. who thought the best car anyone could possibly ever buy was a Police Package CV. I wanted to have one of those and set some kind of record durability record. Even so, I like the looks of the Merc versions better than the ford versions in both chassis.

Frankly, I don't know how you could go wrong with that drivetrain, properly maintained.

You'll rarely go wrong with a Panther, although I wouldn't care much for theTC line. Too many expensive extras to go bad.

Because that's the way it is.

Tbird. 4.6 style of course Style, reliable drive train. Mind you, i have only had crown vic's :)

If you're retarded, I apologize in advance. If you're not, grow up.

That would depend on how much money had to spend

I neglected to specify V8 ...

Is interesting ...

I woulda thought some would prefer MN12 for somewhat less weight and somewhat better steering/handling.
