Pics of the new car!

The Contour was never made as a 2 door. It was the sedan between the Taurus and the Escort. I got the limited edition SVT version.
 
Nice. Hehe I've been meaning to post pics of my car that I took for HardForum. I'm afraid Red Dawn will call it rice though

I rented a V6 late model Contour from Hertz a couple years ago (might have been same year) and that baby had some nice pickup to it. I can only imagine the SVT model...
 
Very nice! That car does not get the respect it deserves. Probably because to get anything close made in Europe one would spend twice as much....
 
Ah, it's a Mondeo!

That looks really similar to the ST200, it might even be the same thing 🙂

Why do they have to have different names in the UK and US!? Probably did it just to confuse me 😉

Confused
 
I always liked the Contour SVT....even though I'm not a huge domestic car fan. Its pretty rare ....I don't see many of it around here in Atlanta.

The Mondeo and Contour are the same cars. For whatever reason, Ford brought them to the US and changed the name. We got the SVT version... 😀

 
I've got a Silver 98 Contour SVT. 85k miles. Ford really made me angry with this car.

I've been thinking of replacing it, which means I'll need to upgrade a bit. I consider myself a driving enthusiast... and It seems that I'm gonna have to get a hella lot of car to impress me after driving the SVT. It's an awesome car.

Nice, just keep an eye on your tranny and oil pressure. 🙂

The tranny was replaced at 15,000 miles. So it only has ~28,000 miles on it. That and I have an extended warranty.
