For 1979 the Bobcat received a major restyling shared with the Pinto, featuring a slanted back front end with rectangular headlamps and inboard vertical parking lamps, but distinguished with a large vertical bar grille. Except for the wagons the tail lamps were revised, and the base instrument cluster received a new rectangular design with a modified dash pad. The Bobcat remained a rebadged Pinto. It was the Mercury counterpart of the Ford Pinto, the first subcompact built by Ford in North America.
