I agree. If it had a little more power, it would be a better car. For that kind of money I would buy something else. Its the car to buy if you want to get noticed, though

more power, if im correct doesnt it go 0-60 in under 6 sec's? and v6 contours range from 7 to 8 (depending on model) i think the 250 something works fine, just another case of lack of advertising and bad publicity(like the contour) just my 2 cents

I liked the design! I've driven one! Nice and fast, but no manual tranny available!

Stupidly silly. Kind of shows your their target age group for it, eh... V6 power and 4-spd ATX (with auto-stick ) The new Thunderbird fits this bill too.

I don't like the owners of these cars. They always seem to be hte type of people with tacky taste and don't know what to do with their money.

Saw one 2 days ago on SW Trafficway (KCMO) he was right besides me for a mile or two at 38 MPH so I got a great view. Car sounds good too.
It's really wide, has a huge ass!
Everything I've read says they are really not too comfortable, and have no trunk space... but who cares, it's not anything more than a sunny weekend cruiser.

Handling was the biggest critisism of these cars. Still most people don't own them because of how they handle. Guess that also applies to the lack of a MTX.
