wheres the logo trojan man? jeez, what do you expect from this type of topic? OMG theres another car out there with similar headlights, i must sell my car immediately!
OMG, they stopped making the SI, crap, maybe honda is trying to tell us that civics were intended for the family! NOOOOOOOOOO
Ford cannibalized itself by selling the Contour next to the Taurus. There was not nearly the same advertising $$$ spent on the Contour. And the Contour was a nice car (friend used to own one). From the way the European crowd has accepted the Mondeo, Ford should rethink it's acceptance by the American public. Remarketing it as a "entry-level" Jaguar may be just the key.
beging a contour owner, i have to say that it is a pretty reliable car, but ford service S*CKS, hugely! i just spent close to $700 for a timing belt and water pump change on my car. almost double what they quoted me over the phone. total bullsh*t, but they aren't budging. and after spending all that money on a 4 hour repair, they didn;t even wash my car. my old dealer would have at least washed it even for a spall item like an oil change. riduculous!
i really like the new mondeo ST200/ST250, but of course, they aren't making it here in the US because they are too busy making those friggin SUVs. and they are trying to replace the Contour SVT with a Focus SVT??? come on! please don't even try to tell me that the focus SVT will replace the current contour!
whatever, i'm rambling. i hate ford. but i love my contour. i would definitely buy another, probably an SVT model if i didn't have to deal with the crap that ford dealerships put you through.

in fact, the new Jaguar X400 will be based on a modified mondeo platform. modified to accept 30 front/70 rear AWD.
the next gen volvo S/V40 and Mazda 626 will also see modified versions of the new euro mondeo. there has also been some speculation of a cougar sedan, but ford probably won't do that. too much incestual competition.

Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
I'm looking to buy another master key with the transmitter included. Ebay seems to only sell keys without the electronics/transmitter. I'm also looking to buy the real deal (OEM), not any aftermarket keys. Does anyone know where I can buy them? I'm looking at this option first before going to my...
Hello, my radiator has formed a hairline stress crack at the top plastic tank. I have read that this is a known issue with our OEM radiators, but I am sure mine was due to low coolant caused by a faulty rad cap. I am willing to invest the extra money and replace it with a full aluminium...

Okay so I just had a mechanic install an HKS Dragger II exhaust that was brand new (I initially was going to do it myself but was persuaded otherwise) on my 2001 IS300 and am hearing what sounds like a tin can rattling behind my car between the speeds of 5 and 15 mph only while I am coasting...
