Talk:Ford Escort

Hey, my first car was an Escort. I couldn't afford any better. --Ed Poor

Thanks, Tarquin. Nothing like threatening to delete an article, to inspire a bit of quick research, eh? --Ed Poor

The "World car"
This article concentrates mostly on the British and European Escort. I have interspersed some stuff about the American version, but it seems like the timeline between the two is not very closely related, and the American and European versions do not actually share that many parts. I do not know how to fix this; it seems like a lot of work to separate the two timelines completely. Interspersing the American and European changes also seems messy and confusing. Being a "World Car" versions were also being sold in Australia and Asia. The American Escort is still being made with the 2005 Escort ZX2, while the European model was killed in 2000. I'm not sure what to do, so please help if you can.– PlatinumX 20:47, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Where was it built?
I think it might be good to have a reference to where each of the various models were built.... but I only have part of that info. Maybe we can share?

First version -- Wayne, Michigan; Edison, New Jersey; Saarlouis, Germany; can't remember whether the UK plant was Dagenham or Halewood.

Second NA version -- Wayne, Michigan and Hermosillo, Mexico...

Wayne remained an Escort plant until the Focus was introduced. I believe the ZX2 stayed on in Hermosillo....

I know the Saarlouis plant built Escort through the mid-90s, probably stayed until the European end. UK plants I lost track of, except that I know Halewood is a Jaguar facility now.--Pmeisel 13:28, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Split up
This page was just too long and complicated. I decided to split it up into the two pages we now have. --SFoskett 21:59, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Disambig?
Should this article be labelled as a disambiguation page? RJFJR (talk) 14:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it really is a dab page and should be formatted as such. I'll change it. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 17:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I just reverted a change that added images into the page, in my opinion it looks better as a plain text disambiguation. If consensus can be established that it would be better to have images (maybe thumbnails?), I would not really have any problem with that course of action. VQuakr (talk) 03:34, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Per Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), I don't think images are appropriate here. The verbal descriptions are adequate. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 21:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

What about the Ford Escort made in India?
For many years, there was a Ford Escort made in India.

Palki Sharma of WION did a whole program about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOiPPJ34ddc

So if there are pages for Ford Escort in North America, Europe, and China, there should also be one for India, imvho.
