1987-1988 The Cougar received a complete restyle for its 20 th anniversary. Much smoother than the previous Cougar. it featured flush-mounted headlights and grille. The side

quarter glass

retained its upswept design. but it was stretched more to the rear of the car. The interior remained mostly unchanged. The GS was dropped. leaving the LS and XR-7 models. The XR-7 changed by dropping the turbocharged I 4. and the 302 V 8 became the standard engine. The manual transmission was also dropped this year. The digital instrument cluster. previously optional on the GS/LS models. became standard with exception to the limited edition XR-7. which became analog only. The special lower tri-stripes and blacked-out window trim continued to set apart the XR-7 from the LS. The Cougar's 20 th anniversary was highlighted by a limited-edition Cougar.

With the new

MN-12

chassis and new body style coming in 1989. the 1988 Cougar changed little from the previous year. Outside. the biggest change was the XR-7 now came in a new monochromatic color scheme. It was available in three colors (black. red. and white) with body-colored or optional argent-colored wheels. The base 232-in

(3. 8-L) V 6 was revamped to include multiport

fuel injection

and an internal balance shaft that increased power to 140 hp (104 k W). The 302 V 8 received a dual exhaust option. which added 5 hp (4 k W). The analog gauge cluster returned as standard on the XR-7. but the digital cluster remained as an option on both the LS and XR-7.
