Now that I think about it, there is a slight difference in the situation. The Contour was originally designed to have 'some' driving experience included - European handling, available V-6 from day 1 & all. Poor Ford marketing & nagging problems did the Contour in (which did very well in Europe). If I've got my facts straight, the Neon was introduced as an econo-box & was then modded to become the SRT-4 - kinda an afterthought to capture some tuner market. That said, they did one helluva job with with the SRT-4!
If I was 20 something again, I'd be lookin' at one. Unfortunately, I'm 40-something so my preference of vehicles is taking me in a different direction than most CEGers.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
