Exactly, to each his own
I didnâ??t like the 2nd generation restyle of the contour until I saw the SVT. I think the deeper air dam, sill extensions, and back bumper of the SVT combined with more aggressive wheels and dual outlet exhaust really helped balance the look of 98+ models. Otherwise, the bigger headlights and mystique-styled taillights look too bulbous and top heavy when compared to a leaner, more chiseled, 1st generation contour. I was never crazy about the 1st gen mystique.
I guess if I were to rank the best looking Contours I would go:
1: SVT
2: 1st generation SE
3: 2nd generation non-svtâ??s
imho, of course
