Contour! My dad is a contour fanatic... he has an SVT and babies it like you wouldn't believe, always washing it inside and out, tinkering with engine etc. Good, reliable car. I think they've taken a lot of people by suprise.
Unfortunately, Contour didn't last long because Ford gave up on it. One of their few cars with European engineering. Within a few years, they moved into more Asian engineering and gave up on their European team nearly completely in the American market. Bummer they never gave the Contour much of a chance.
