They are more of an individual bucket type seat. if you've ever seen the back seat of an 80's firebird they're kind of like that, and still have a 50/50 fold down back. the one I looked at also had a cupholder in between the two seats. I don't know if t would look good in a Contour or not, I'm just wondering what if.....
* edit* If you go to
http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/vehicles/cougar/views.asp and check out 360 deg views, I THINK you'll be able to see them, you also seem to need quicktime, I'm in the process of trying this right now, and it doesn't seem to be working, try it and hopefully you have better luck than I.
