@Grymes: Unfortunately, the headlights don´t have the same size. It´s about 1 - 2 centimeters, so there would be excessive bodywork to fit them. Many guys here in Austria and Germany would love to have the Contour´s clear headlights, but the bodywork is too much.... BTW, the bumper should fit with a little work.

Regards,

Okay so I am convinced that we live in the wrong country. Both of the cars that you have posted are freakin awesome. I'm glad you guys joined the CEG. We needed something new to drool over. Thanks!!!

If you like their cars, you should see their roads. In the area where I was, reflectors were in abundance, you could actually follow a curve...and the smoothness...wow. Coming back to Michigan was hell. Oh' I forgot...there is that little road called "die Autobahn" with the fairly high speed limit. (smoothness) Too bad I was driving a POS Renault that shook horribly at 185km/h ('bout 115)...

the settings to the left of "off" are usually for the rear fog lights, right and left.

sit in an old mercedes and you'll see the same settings.

they also have height adjustable headlights in EU too. so if you have a heavy load in the back, you can point the headlights down to keep them from blinding people.

we can't even figure out how BLINKERS work, imagine the confusion if we had all that extra stuff.

Just a thought ..... if you lived in Europe, you might not be able to afford a ST24/ST200.

Higher taxes, higher fuel costs, lower wages (depending on industry but generally true I believe) etc...

The grass is not necessarily greener...
