Before you start a letter writing campaign, answer this:
Who was driving the Cougar (i.e. did Rick McDaniels show up in a new car?)
What kind of competition was there. Did the Cougar "walk away" from a
collection of Yugo's and Hyundai's or were there some nationally competitive
Celica ST's there?
I think that the 4 Cyl Cougar belongs in HS. It is not that much different
from the Contours. As far as ES having the "sporty" 4 cyl cars, you haven't
been reading your Fastrack. A whole bunch of ES cars are headed for HS in
Y2K.
