Ford Contour (CDW162). 1998–2000 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 1998 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 2544 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Americanized Mondeo, and not a bad car by US standards. Good power and torque for V6 models; SVT had better handling. Under-marketed by Ford North America probably due to its European origins, and consequently sold poorly. Facelift for 1998 made it look more like European Mondeo, but rear end unique. Twinned with Mercury Mystique.

Manufacturing location: Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Cuautitlan, México
