Are you sure Thule has a rack for our cars????
When I was buying mine a couple years ago they didn't have one. The rounded shape of our roofs makes the square bar design racks have a quite tilt to the bars. The front bar would end up tilted up / and the rear tilted \ down. Making the attachemnts useless.
I just checked their site.

The have the Contour listed, but when you check off an attachment, it comes back saying they don't have a rack for the car.
I've only seen round bar racks for our cars.
