I still remeber seeing the one comercial for the SVT Contour back in 1998. I was looking at getting a SHO Taurus (93-95) and wanted a Green and Tan. The problem was that all of them were sold with Automatics. When I was the commercial with the dogs chasing the cars, then seeing the SVT and leaving it alone. I knew I found my next car. I met my wife the summer of that year and what was she driving? A 1997 Contour. I desided to keep her dispite the fact that it's an automatic. :-)
To this day my family still can't understand why I want another Contour(The Zetec has had 3 trannies). I've told them they'd just have to drive one to understand.
