oh and another thing i notice, i know that i know more than the average person about cars, not saying i'm a genious, far from it, but i notice that cars like hondas... most of the poeple that want them don't know much about cars.
plus another thing, i can pick up a lot more chicks in my stock teal contour than any stock (non si... like maybe a dx or so....) civic. chicks dig my tour, maybe it's the color, maybe the styling, but they dig it, they all want one. it goes to show that this was at least car that has style to it, it's not all plain jane rental car like maybe a malibu. contours will remain, especially the svt ones. my next car (depending on how the air force treats me) is a black or red svt. no doubt about it. i love how the svt looks. contours are (fairly) cheap cars that handle great, everyone that has driven my car loves how the steering immediatly centers itself after a turn.
little things (not counting svts) like that will keep contiques alive....
