I think appearance wise, the SVTs are number 1 (regardless of color). For the number 2 spot, I would have to go with the 1998-2000 Mystique LS....and I'm not just saying that because I own one.
When buying, I looked for Mystiques rather than contour SE's. I love the shape and lines of the 98+ hood, as well as the sharp angled headlights and grille, and I like the mystique bumper better than the SE bumper. Even the Mystique LS wheels are hot imo.
Now I, too, feel compelled to post a random example
