Keep us posted, Larry. Maybe Ford has several thousand Contour badges left, and they're gonna stick 'em on Mazda6's.

I must say that it is possible in some ways. I mean they did get rid of the Cougar, and brought it back again.
Give me more beer and CEG before i get depressed!

If it was a 2003 model, Ford would have shown it at this season's auto shows.
