Actually, though, I liked that vintage Escort, except for the sluggish-shifting automatic transmission. I drove it for several hundered miles and back, down to North Carolina's Outer Bank She took a little vacation with a couple of her girl friends, and didn't want to drive....she asked me to do the driving for them.
What's interesting is that, with the current American-market Focus, the automatic is still the weak point, even after some 30 years.

I just don't see the need for this car's existence, baggage or not. Maybe in China they need a cheaper version of the Focus....but it just seems superfluous to me. Definitely wouldn't be needed here in America.
Come on Ford, give us a true replacement for the Crown Vic and the Town Car.

The thing is, when the Escort was for sale here in the US, it was not offered alongside the Focus. The Escort was the small offering. They only offered them side by side for a few years, during which the Escort sales were much lower than before.
