For comparison, the Contour was rated Poor in the front collision, again, due to foot issues. No side was performed...

I don't see this really impacting sales that much though, I mean the fivehundred/montego got gold awards and the sales on those things have been slow. I don't think Americans really care about safety that much.




Five Hundred sales are actually quite good, with February sales at 8096 Five Hundreds and 1896 Montegos. That's almost 10,000 total, and a significant increase over 2005 (even with the new buzz over Fusion/Milan and higher sales from them).
