The Contour and the Dodge Stratus came out at the same time. Auto Week said that they were "poised to overtake imports".
Little did they know that trucks would take 50% of the market and that Asian compacts would grow to mid size.
Also, for 1995, GM offered the very outdated Corsica and older Grand AM. And the forgettable Olds Achieva, yuck.
By 1999, Ford needed a bigger and better Contour, but refused.
2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!
