I think it's obvious here that comparing the two cars is like comparing apples to oranges. Cool Blue, I think your car is cool and frankly I would own it if I could get it in a manual...BUT this is a Contour site. Your talk of this car and impossible comparisons to the Contour are igniting the heated responses. Honestly there were probably fewer Monte Carlos optioned like mine built in 1979 than AWD 6000's in 1990 or whatever, but I don't go on about that here. People don't want to hear about my Monte on contour.org...that's what montecarloss.com is for! I'm sure there is a 6000 site where your car is much more appreciated. Give it a rest man. EVERYONE give it a rest, please. There are better things to talk about.
