Sandie ◊ 2015-07-21 17:30	I find all these background vehicle pre-production Escorts exceptionally difficult to believe.
Gamer ◊ 2015-07-21 17:30	Now the question is: how do we list it? 1996 was still the 1991+ generation, and this Escort came out in '97... So do I Sandie, but like I said, judging by a now-removed commercial, this Escort appeared in April 1997. -- Last edit: 2015-07-21 17:31:31

As well you should as the 97 Escort went on sale in the spring of 96. Here's a Motor Trend review from June 96: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/ford/112_9606_1997_ford_escort_lx/
