I can't tell what I'm more surprised by here. That the Ford Contour made the list or that said car is described as being an attempt at cross-over between a sedan and a sports car. I always assumed it was an experiment at Ford to see if they could sell a car to Americans that barely qualifies as transportation.
- kube-system 5y agoThe Contour was a bad attempt at a sports sedan, but that’s what it was. The late 90s was not a great time for the big 3.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 5y agoThe Contour SVT was the sporty version, akin to the Taurus SHO. Not a sports car, per se, but a sporty sedan.
- kube-system 5y agoThe regular contour was marketed as a “sporty” sedan, despite the performance characteristics. Like the Lumina euro-sport, and similar. The big 3 did a lazy job of competing with imports in the 90s.
