Really! Dang it ford...why did they have to stop making the tour.



Seriously. They were improving the design every year, and it was surely one of their best platforms.



Improving? I wouldnt say that. I think the quality went down a little bit over the years and each year they decontented more and more features.


Well then I suppose that's a matter of opinion... it's true that some things improved, others regressed. It was improving steadily up to '98 at least, anyway.



Not really. Again, some things improved, but even more things were decontented. Decontenting started immediately after introduction of the Contour.


Enlighten me... what was decontented from 95-98? Just wondering, because I'm aware of several of the little things that happened starting with 98.5 but I haven't heard of anything before then. I searched for decontenting but only found info on the latter years.
