Re: 164S vs. SVT Contour vs. Jetta w/VR6

Doug S. is right, if it isn't rear wheel drive then let's just
acknowledge that we are taking one step down right away.

Out of these three, I would have to go with either the Alfa or the
Ford.  I like what Ford does with it's SVT program, but they are still
stuck with the bland styling, especially the interior.  IMHO, when it
comes to styling it's all Alfa.

Power and handling has to go to Ford, but what do you expect from such a
newer design as compared to the Alfa.  If you want performance and and a
supportive dealer network, go with the Ford.  If you want to look cool
and save some money, then it's the Alfa.

Notice I haven't even talked about the VW.  IMHO, boring.

Another vehicle to consider is the Olds.  I think it is the Intrigue
that they have made a souped up version of.  250 HP supercharged
engine.  The motoring press seems to like these cars.
