Which do you like better...the 99-00 Cougars or the 01-02 Cougars?

My first Cougar was a 1999 2.5L MTX. My current Cougar is a 2001 2.5L MTX. I definitely like the new style better. I like the 01-02 front and rear bumpers much more than the older style. I also like the 01-02 gauge cluster better than the older style. The shift knob on the 01-02 Cougars is more appealing and the aluminum racing style pedals in the newer Cougars are much more appealing than the rubber ones in the older Cougars. The new center console is much better, no more cup spiller! Pretty much all of the changes from older to newer style I prefer.
