A quick search shows American models selling for considerably less than Canadian ones, although the mileage is getting up there on a lot of them. Rear legroom in them has been an issue as well.....

ZTWSquared has an AWESOME SVT Contour. Words don't do it justice. Sadly, I'd think such a car now falls squarely in the "fanaticism" category for price - either it's trashed and not worth saving, or it's pristine and you're paying through the nose.
I'm not sure what the rear seats are like, never got a chance to sit in Ken's. I wish Ford made more cars like that - a small, well-tuned V6 with lots of twist to it. Well, there's the Fusion with the 3L Duratec... that car's playing bad-cop to the Focus' good-cop routine lately :D
