i think they both sound retarded, personally.

i've always hated abbreviated car names in general - 'tour', 'contique', 'vert' instead of convertible, 'stang', etc.

about the only one i can think of that i don't mind is 'vette'....though i still don't use it myself.

i'm probably weird, though....

I don't like the sound of Contique but it is much easier than typing Contour/Mystique everytime.

Yeah man. My mother used to drive a 'Vette ... a Che-vette. I could accelerate quicker on my bicycle, though her top speed was a little higher. (hey! it is new!)

me for post whoring.

Besides, Mystour sounds like a frenchman with a speach impediment.

Tell a girl "yeah, I got a 'Vette" and see her eyes light up. Then when she sees the CHEvette, she scarpers.

I don't get it .....
