I only use them to hold change. Even that spills every now and then! How much do you guys think it may cost to get intorior parts from a Mondeo and ship them here? If they even fit? I dunno if that Mondeo console will fit Contours, but I can tell you that it's VERY similar to the pre-98 Contour/Mystique consoles, and that does fit 98+.

Probably precisely the reasons you stated .. they already had an Escort and Taurus one. The Mondeo is Ford's European flagship model, so they had more versions (including sedan/saloon, hatch, and wagon/touring). At least Ford of Europe redesigned for c-pillar on the mondeo, unlike the bean-counters over here in the good ole u.s. of a. (see taurus wagon). 2005 Subaru Legacy \| Ban Them Forever

I'll bet the Mondeo wagon roof would have been too low with the sedan doors. I noticed the Front doors on the Fusion/Milan/Zephyr have a crease, fenders don't! Ford's still at it. At least the crease is hidden from the normal view , under the mirror.
