The Ford Contour was a North American variant of the European Ford Mondeo sedan sold by Ford Motor Company. It was sold in North America from 1995 through 2000. The platform also underpinned a Mercury version called Mystique and the 1999 to 2002 iteration of the Mercury Cougar. It was called the Contour in the US as Ford thought people would associate Mondeo with 'Rodeo'.

End Of the Contour

2000 Ford Contour

After the 2000 model year, the Contour was canceled because of decreasing sales, and the Kansas City plant was retooled to build the Ford Escape. Many editors remarked that the car, sized for Europe, had a small interior compared to peers such as the Dodge Stratus, though many praised the car for its European handling and V6 power. The Contour (alongside the Ford Escort) were replaced by the Focus as Ford's compact car. Mid-size car buyers were steered toward larger Taurus, while small car buyers purchased the smaller Focus. In reality, though, the departure of the Contour left a gap in Ford's lineup which wouldn't be filled until the 2006 introduction of the Fusion.
