The basic lines of the Contour are really good. Nice flow to the beltline, visually balanced front to back, graceful curves of the fender lines, overall very sleek and clean. Anything that breaks up or adds to those basic lines is probably not a good thing.



That's basically the way I feel about it. Plus, wasn't the rear pillar/roofline slightly altered when they went to the 98/98.5 model? I think that the pre-98s have a bit more rake to the rear glass, and it suits it better.



They have IDENTICAL frames, so the roof,doors, pillars, glass, trunk and hood are all the same. Otherwise, how would you be able to interchange trunks (between pre and post 98's) if the glass was cantered back further?

Your eyes are playing tricks on you.
