...Alfa Romeo Milano Verde?

It's not about the numbers, or looks. I mean, it's just a 3.0 V-6 with around 184 hp out of the box, but it's RWD, perfect front-to-rear weight distribution, and that sweet Italian motor. Oh, and very unique. The design is, um, controversial, to say the least, but it grows on you.

I love my Contour, but no matter what I do, or how much I spend, it will always be a nose-heavy FWD.

Function before fashion. '96 Contour SE "Toss the Contour into a corner, and it's as easy to catch as a softball thrown by a preschooler." -Edmunds, 1998
