well it is dissapointing that they axed the Contour, especially when you think of what the car could be today with the sport compact market heating up the way it has been. SVT just gave the cobra 390hp this year so imagine what they would've done for the Contour by now?

regardless, i'm fine with the place in automotive history the CSVT holds. probably one of the most slept on all-around performance bargains of all time.
