Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Message to all SVT owners

I wouldn't say the issue is with SVT in particular with many of these things, but Ford in general. I don't know how much influence your group has on Ford's general product development, but I'll make my statement anyway.

I frankly am not concerned with magazines or clothes or "stuff", though they are nice.

The issue is that Ford has completely decided to ignore a core automotive class in discontinuing and not replacing the Contour... the entry mid-size class. Then they have the audacity to think that the Focus fills the gap. Not to knock the Focus, but its a small car, lacking the size, V6 power and stature to wear the Contour's shoes. Interior room is only a small part of the deal.

That is the main cause of anger for many of us, we want V6 power and a larger package than the Focus (interior room not the issue), but don't want the familymobile Taurus.

SVT then seems to ignore us that like/need the stature and practicality of a 4-door sedan and only advertise a hot version of the hatchback.

Basically, we're suffering from neglect. Ford first discontinues our vehicle with nothing to adequately replace it. Then us remaining owners are treated as it would be preferable that we didn't exist.
