Many auto writers have said that about the Contour, too. Especially if you got a GL.


Where?



Car and Driver did a comparison test in fall of 1997. Tested a 4 banger GL with ATX, came in last out of like 7 cars, so there.

And the 500 isn't meant to be a "Contour SVT replacement". It's a full line car, not a "cult car" like the C-SVT, (or SVT-C for the anal retentives.) Compare it to the plain Contours/Tauruses, and it is world's better.

It is only its first year anyway, there are planned changed alrewady. Like 3.5L V6 which will make the beloved 2.5 SVT motor look like a Tempo engine.
