Ford never called the 'stang a sportscar. A sport coupe, muscle car, pony car, whatever, but nobody considers it a sportscar.
I've driven enough sportscars from either side of the pond to know that the definition is different, mainly based on different driving conditions in different countries. Don't assume the Brit definition is the definitive one.
The Cougar was not well built, or even well designed, even my neice who built them says so. The new platform for the '05 Mustang is indeed the Lincoln LS/Jag S-type platform, which has done very well.
I think the '05 Mustang will be a winner, especially in GT/fastback trim.
