You guys are all living in denial.. :rolleyes:
You like to think you own an SVT to stick it to those BMW/Audi/Lexus owners who spent more money for a comparable car.. However, if you actually drove any of the competition, you'd see that there is no comparison! Keep up with a 330, my a$$. He wasn't racing.. :rolleyes:
I'd take an Audi A4 1.8T for a 2K premium over the SVT, if for no other reason than the prestige, resale value, aftermarket, and luxury of the interior. Heck, for pure driving enjoyment, I'd even take a WRX! If you haven't driven it, don't knock it.
The SVT Contour was a fluke, but sales were pitiful.. Maybe if it was marketed better, there would have been a better reaction from the public. But there wasn't, and so Ford felt that there was no need to fill this niche, and we're all left in the dust.
