On a driver reponsive transmission like the one in the Contours (which will do whatever your right foot tells it to do), the sport and economy modes are useless gimmicky frills, almost as bad as these selectable gear monstrosities. It may be a European car feature to make the car appear more upscale, but it does not help the performance or function of the car. You hold your foot down, and it will hold it all the way up the tach.
ummm... isn't the comp set to shift at certain rmps??? and why did every1 go into explaining the O/D, i already know bouts it... the euro shift would allow u yo go into higher rpm range, so maybe if our cars have decent power at higher rpms than those euro dudes can beat us in races.
