There are many Contours and Mystiques, but their owners are either at shopping malls or sleeping, they're so old!!

Seriously, in the greater Montreal area, most of the Contique owners are in the 55-over age range, bet you couldn't count all the Civics though..

In the last 3 years, I'm not sure I've seen more than 2-3 CSVTs. The 3 SVT dealers in Quebec (1 in Granby, another in Laval and the third in Quebec City) only got 8 per model year, the odds of seeing one are very low..

A salesman at the Granby dealership told me that "If we could've gotten our hands on 40 CSVTs, they'd all be sold in a couple of weeks, that model was that good."

Even the FSVT is rare, they get more than 8, but still.. a rare beast! Ford never gave low rates on the FSVT, only on the non-SVT models, and most Focus buyers didn't want to spend 25,000$ on a hatchback...
