After 8 years and 89,200 blissful miles in my SVT Contour, I am moving on. I took delivery of a 2006 Mazda6 Grand Sport wagon (MTX, of course, and NO ROOF RACK) on Monday. I certainly miss the 'Tour, but so far the Mazda6 has been such a comparable driving experience that it's been an easy transition. I just have to go through the pain of the first paint chip, etc. all over again.
I haven't posted here in quite some time, but I still value the CEG community for what it is: A group of folks who appreciate a vastly underappreciated car. Keep the faith! I sure wish Ford would...
