I had my first kiss in a contour svt ☺️
Steve Peterson Pred 20 urami
Yeah, but everybody liked to kiss Joey!
jesskimo35 Pred dnevom
@steven c Hell yeah, I had a "new edge" cougar in high school, they shared the 2.5 engine with the contour.. iirc the 3.0 swap came from the early 2000's Taurus. Everybody wanted that sweet looking svt intake manifold though 👌 lol

This exact topic has always fascinated me, awesome to see a video about it. A lot of these made me sad. ESPECIALLY the Chevy SS, that was the coolest subtle sleeper on the planet. A true monster grocery getter. I loved that it existed and that GM made it, I was so sad that no one understood what it was!

Subaru Baja is just butt ugly and I think that's all the explanation you need
Jake Fleezy Pred 8 urami
Found a 99 contour svt with 70k original miles for 7k at a local dealership. I went in to test drive/possibly buy, but it had already sold 😔
aoflhs Pred 8 urami
pretty sure why no one bought the viper is because: the people who can afford it don't want to be seen in a Chrysler dealership. imagine being a successful person sent your viper to the dealer for an oil change, end up sit next to a fat sweaty grand caravan owner in the waiting room. lol.
Zechariah Bassenheim Pred 11 urami
I'd love to have a Viper if it were affordable
Zechariah Bassenheim Pred 11 urami
I'd love to have an LFA
tigerpjm Pred 17 urami
I've owned two of the cars on the list! Focus RS and Holden Commodore V8. Both were great cars.

The Viper looked like a Corvette

I bought my GT Stinger without test driving it.. and I still get rock hard when I start it up.

god, isn't that avanti the worst reboot car ever? does james do a reboot car series?
Jonny 5ive Pred 22 urami

The viper was always the muscle car you couldn’t afford but nice to look at. People want the traditional muscle car look back. All this electric and modern bs is disgusting.
bikinggreg Pred dnevom
If Subaru had put the two plastic seats form the Brat in back of the Baja, they would have sold the shit out of them.
James B The Joke Pred dnevom
Price, price is always the factor. Car companies keep pumping out SUVs (because of price margins to profits). The problem with them is SUVs and their obscene costs are only really affordable to Boomers. A market that is going to shrink/disappear. They don’t have any other options which are affordable or appealing to young people. This is why the next generation of car buyers are looking at things like rideshare. They need a car, but nothing is appealing enough to own, so they will rent boring cars to do the bare minimum. Car dealers need to target vanners ( van life youth, pack your skateboards, bikes etc and girlfriend and go for a road trip) cheap coupes (rwd, below $25k, let buyers tune using a big parts catalog) etc... SUVs are about as attractive to younger buyers as the family minivan was to 90s kids.

Uh I think someone doesn't understand what a flop is......
Ohyeah What Pred dnevom
The "redo" of the Viper was a massive mistake. If they had redesigned with a rear transaxle and got rid of that horrible massive tunnel next to your feet, they would have improved the car immensely and made it handle even better. But no, they just went with what they had. Kind of like if Chevy had left all the Corvettes looking like the early 70's version to this day.

"Sounds like a pretty nice bag of peanuts' What a stupid thing to say. That 4 door Chevy SS, had 4 doors and looked like every other 4 door sedan. That's why it didn't sell. The Ford Contour didn't sell because it only had a small under powered V6 and 4 doors. If Chevy or Ford would make Thunderbird's, Galavie's Chevell's with nice V8 like the Dodge Challenger's 485HP 6.4 Hemi maybe then they would sell.

One of my friends in hs mom had an SVT contour for a bit. It was a fun car. Nimble and quick for what it was.
enigmaPL Pred 2 dnevi
Viper will forever be remembered as something truly awesome. The only reason I didn't buy one, was finances. I wanted to, but it would be irresponsible if I swapped my house/utility payments for car payments. I WILL have a Viper in my life sooner or later, before I die.

Chevrolet Volt It's a great car that would have been perfect for so many people, but sadly never really took off. It's all-electric range is still unmatched by many new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. As a used vehicle it's an incredible value and I'd argue the best value used vehicle on the market today.

The word “NARCAR” is not descriptive of the race car but rather the sanctioning body.

The Chevy SS was built to satisfy a production requirement for the factory in Australia. IIRC, it was cheaper to make the SS and take a loss on it than it would have been to terminate the production line at the time.
Tieson2012 Pred 3 dnevi
I loved my contour SVT... such a fun car, but yes, pain in the ASS to work on.

Walked into a Chevy dealership interested in the Holden when they cane out. Ahole salesman blew me off. Guess the indifference to sales runs throughout GM.
Kein Name Pred 3 dnevi
Baja from Vorarlberg? LOL
Sun Pred 3 dnevi
I think GM was too afraid of taking away potential Corvette sales to properly market the SS. Shame. There's a guy in my neighborhood with one and it's fucking badass. I want one.
Dan Krause Pred 3 dnevi
The problem with the viper is no one wanted them because only 3/10 would make it home had a couple buddies at dealer ships watch people wreck them into a pole driving out of the lot. Idk about you but that would scare me from buying a 150k car

Ned Ludd Pred 3 dnevi
You could have included the Tucker 48. That was really a car that nobody bought. It did have innovating features though. One of those features was to be seat belts. But imagine this, the marketing department opposed them because they thought that including them would make the public believe that the car was unsafe.

I remember my dad having a black SVT Contour when I was very little. I remember sitting in the back of it when I was 7 while my dad was doing highway pulls with an old E36 and a couple of 240sx rolling with underglow. Out of all the cars he's own it's probably been one of the most temperamental and unreliable next to his 04 Sorento.
