This months HOT ROD

[Olds Guy]

Anybody see this months HOT ROD with artist sketches of a Trans Am based on the Camaro concept, a Cougar based on the Stang, and a Cuda based on the Challenger?

Looks like an interesting group of concepts, although I don't really see Merc getting a Cougar again (although the idea would be entertaining).

ive seen the trans am before... that one and the one NOS did are my favorite camaro based trans ams ive seen so far...

the cougars alright i guess... i was never a real big fan tho... maybe someone who likes them more woul like it better...

the cuda... eh... boring... so much of the same... but look at that text... a Chrylser 'Cuda? are they serious? mopar fans would be screaming bloody murder for years about that haha

I like 'em all, but you can file them under "not gonna happen". The Cougar would have the best chance and that's unlikely.

Too bad.

That Trans Am is hotter than a carburetor fire!!!

If they make a "CONVERSION KIT" for the Camaro

like that my Camaro will not wear a Chevy badge

after I get bored of burnouts & the 1/4 mile.

There is talk of Mustang-based Lincoln in a few years, but I havent heard anything about a Mercury version.

I love the Firebird.

The Cougar reminds me of an Oldsmobile Achieva or Ninety Eight in front. I know it's based on the old Cougar style, but still.

The Barracuda... meh.

I've read several times about a Cougar in the pipes...

that's an obvious move, esp. if FoMoCo wants to keep

Mercury around for another decade. I love the idea of

a hardtop Cougar XR7 but that sketch is not all that

flattering, not the front and not the back, looks like a

bad chop at best. The ugliest part of the current gen.

Mustang is the damn 9" thick B-pillar... gross.

I hope the redesign makes the Mustang a Hardtop too

since I'm 99% sure the Challenger & Camaro will be

hardtops unless GM or DMX fu%k up royally.

Does anyone PLEASE have any highres images of either the cougar or the transam???

[Guest Josh]

I've heard a lot of a Cougar.

[Camino LS6]

I think Cougar could work, but it needs to be a notchback.

I love the 'Cuda - too bad they killed Plymouth as it looks better than the Challenger(which I also like).

I could do without the screaming chicken, but the Firebird looks good too. Won't happen, but nice to look at.
