jeni8759 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Sorry if this is a re-post... but iv only just found out about it... I like it a lot, it would be awesome if they make it actually look like that, id have one! id keep my original one of corse! but how good would it be to have it as the second car! It looks a bit like a new mustang or aston martin... but a modern mk1.. YUM! http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2007/05/21-benchmark-ford-escort-concept/
Pye Man Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Crash bang into that like!!! Would have to be RWD of course. Just wouldnt be the same any other way!!
ribbit Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 nice i wouldnt say no but theres somthing about the back that just doesnt look rite so ill have the orig instead!!
Slik 50 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 TBH I thought TT when I first clapped eyes on it. Iwould be more than happy having the wife drive it, but I would rather spend my cash on a genuine one
105Speed Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Looks like Audi TT, Modern Mustang, Aston Martin are peoples first impressions... NOT That looks just like a MkI Escort !
omj624p Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Stick with the original, it would never be anywhere near as good.
andrewg1323 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 If they ever did make such a car it'd be pants it'd be FWD have ABS, Power steering, aircon, it'd be just another dull driver!
mr squidian Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 i would probibly be cheaper tha nthe original
Gonzo Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 tbh I don't think they'd be able to get away with making it fwd. the whole world would be in uproar. but if they do make it rwd, i doubt they'd be able to keep up with demand. all the old farts who had one when they were young but have been bullied into selling them by their missus would be straight down the dealers asking for a part-ex on their 'sensible' cars. that and if it's priced sensibly, it'd appeal to the yoof of today as well. I'd certainly have one as a daily.
Gareth Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 bit too much like an audi TT! That's what I thought- the love child of a Mk1 and TT I like it though See, Ford can modernise an old design without totally fookin it up
Mr Sam Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 looks like a mustang and a mexico fused as one i bet it would have some IRS system be packed with ABS and power steering not forgetting traction control and the like get a propper one FTW
tazrocks88 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 this was in top gear mag last month i like the front not sure the side view is escort enuff!!! i like these pics tho i dont like the back much rather have mine we would still be the envy of every1 who bought a new 1!!!
Kieran Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 looks like half a merc and half of an escort welded together
Rich Sav Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 hurm cant decide if i like it or not it will put up the price of the proper ones tho if it comes out
bronze4door Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 it would be interesting if they made it but i would prefer my mk1 anyday
BaileyMex Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 sort of 50/50 on this one, better looking than a Focus, but I cant ever see it going into production
RETRO_AL Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 not to sure myself but i like the idea they should make one with all the tricks that evos have,(maybe call it the lux version)like active diffs ect ect so ford can rule in that department then have a sport model which is rwd stripped out only the bare essensials
