Although this car is BEAUTIFUL IMHO, I think it spells the end of any hope that the Contour would return to the American market.

i really dig it, i'd buy one if it had some go and bigger wheels as an option (given the boxiness of the car i wouldnt settle for anything less than 18's)

I think it kicks ass, to bad they never made the Te50 and Ts50 concepts, they really kick ass.

Make that Australia, I believe

But yeah, I like the looks of the Futura alot. Now, let's hope they give the car some go and a decent interior w/o any cheap metal lookalike plastic crap. I'd buy one.

I have read elsewhere that the car will have the same powertrains as the Mazda 6, the car with which it shares a platform. Sounds good to me

Looks kind of like a CTS to me, I like it.


My Zetec died one too many times so I got a new car. 1992 Camaro RS 305 TBI with T-5 M/T, high flow cat, custom cat back exhuast. Soon to be home to a LS1 stroked to a 383 with a T-56. Hey Brad, want to race?

I added another lower grille bar, lowered the main grille, tinted the headlamps, repainted it, gave it larger wheels and a much needed lowering job.

Wonder if they are taking orders yet?

Seriously though. If it is a sister to the 6 I would buy the Mazda instead. The car is great, but I cant stand those headlights on the Mountaineer and the same applies here too.

EDIT: I put the two cars together so you could see the difference a bit easier.
