take a pic and store it on your phone... saves lots of explaining

 

I have the exact same thing. Quite often, when I say I drive a Kuga, they ask if it's the V6 (ie the V6 Cougar). So I explain it's a new Ford "4x4" and I mainly get a puzzled expression in response, with them saying they didn't know Ford did a 4x4!


So Applematt, as the Ford man on the forum, pleeease explain why your masters, in their infinite wisdom, chose Kuga (with all its phonetic confusion-causing) as the name for their new baby!!!!

 

I've had it too, I phoned Ford Insure to get cover on mine so it could be taxed by the dealer, & the guy on the phone informed me that my Cougar was a 2 door sports car, I corrected him on the spelling, but he was still none the wiser !

 

Can't believe Ford insure don't know the difference

Goes to show the benefits of buying insurance on the net

 

Believe or not Ford doesn't sell insurance, as it's actually Norwich Union you're talking too. Well it was until a week or so ago as they have changed over to another company.

 

When I was checking out ferry prices the other day, I noticed that the Kuga isn't in the the list of Fords but Cougar was. I blurted out "Ha Ha, they've spelt it wrong!" only to realise that the Cougar does exist. Doh!

**** sight cheaper though than the comparable Maverick (sort of anyway). Ferry charges extra for a taller car!

 

sprayaway... i havent a clue whyford went with this name - as it is confusing as we've all found out!


marketing for you

maybe its one of those non offensive names in any laguage - so the car can be sold any where without a name change????
