The '''[[Mercury]] Bobcat''' was introduced in 1975 as a twin to the '''Ford Pinto''' and was Mercury's the first subcompact car. Styling differed from the Pinto with larger taillights, separate parking lights, a taller Lincoln-esque grille and somewhat fancier interior and exterior trim. 3-door hatchback and wagon bodystyles were offered - Mercury would not offer the 2-door "sedan" bodystyle on the Bobcat. Styling remained virtually unchanged until a substantial facelift in 1979, and would be dropped after 1980. The Bobcat would be replaced by the 1981 [[Mercury Lynx|Lynx]]. | The '''[[Mercury]] Bobcat''' was introduced in 1975 as a twin to the '''Ford Pinto''' and was Mercury's the first subcompact car.
