Dual-exhaust is such a generalized term now. Some people think the Camaros have dual exhaust despite the fact it doesn't split until AFTER the huge muffler at the back. The SVTs have one pipe coming from the exhaust manifold that splits off into two mufflers. But yes, true dual exhaust (from muscle car days) would mean there are two separate pipes from the exhaust manifold. Just too expensive and big for modern cars. The Contour is so smashed together that there is almost no room for this.
