That’s what the Mercury Cougar turned into in the late 90s.

Hard to believe that car was made. Cougar had at least some heritage which they defiled with that thing. Don't know the exact year 2000-ish.

^^^^You both get credit....'99-02 Cougar.

It was condone on the Ford Mondeo platform.....same as the Contour/Mystique, although styling was different inside and out.

Good one Tex.

I have no idea so I'm not much help.
But you're right, it's tiny for a van.

This is so unbelievably ironic - I just saw one of these in a nearby neighborhood over the weekend as I was walking our dog. It was painted a bright blue (think Smurfs) and drove by me and I was wondering what in the world it was.

Simple; Volkswagen Type 4 (411/412), the last evolution step of aircooled VWs ( besides the 911...), replaced quickly by the K70 ( Originally a NSU) and the VW Passat/Golf/Scirocco in early 70s

Yes sir, you are correct!

My friend told me they make a big Escalade and a small Escalade.

If so, I think this is the small one.

I had nothing but was going to guess SAAB just to throw something out there and get lucky. Lol
