591:-If you check the European Escort page, you will see, that there actually were two 1,3-litre units of which one was a Kent/Valencia engine (Originally 1960 Brittish derived ohv desing) and the other was 1,3-liter CVH engine. As the first generation American Escort shared the desing with the third European generation, both used the CVH engine family. If you compare the 1,6-liter CVH-engines of both U.S and Euro -Escort you can see that the American version puts out only about 2/3 of the power the European one does. This is probably because in 1980'ies U.S. emission legistlation was stricter than in Europe and propably in part due to the differences in quality of the available fuel. The 1,3 would have propably made only about 40 hp in U.S. version and because of the performance requirement of the public in the states it would have been a disastrous venture to produce as practically no-one would have wanted a car that could not be able to keep up with the traffic in highway, even if it had smaller fuel consumption...

sources: The
Carfolio ,and a finnish page: Ajovalo.net ,which contain the specs to the Escort's engine options. Unfortunately the Carfolio contains only the specs of European Escort and the finnish page has the specs of European Escort engines offered here in Finland. One interesting point is that a Brasilian version of the Escort was made available here and in few other European countries from 1983 to 1985. According to the page there were a third 1,3-liter engine in addition to the CVH and Kent/Valencia engines: One that was based on an old Renault desing which was used in the Brasilian model. That was as close I could get to North America with a 1,3-liter unit and I think that the Brasilian models were not available in the states even if they were in the same continent...

common in whole history or more properly in the histories of the marque. The straight merging of these articles, at least in my perspective, would have the benefit to clarify the similarity of the Euro 3 gen and USA 1 gen
Escorts, but would cause the rest of the models and their history, especially the overlapping 90'es models of the different desing and origin, to become blurred and thus the article would not serve its original intended meaning, to deliver clear information of the history of the car as it was known in its market.

459:-I agree, that the figure sounds very confusing. I are'nt sure either if it's correct or not, but the european Mark III Escort's 1,6 liter OHC diesel, introduced in 1983 and continued officially to june/july 1986 put out 54 (~52 imperial) horsepowers, so in comparison, the Mazda diesel is seriously lacking power. But if so, it must be tuned to low rpm since Ford's own LTA, LTB and LTC 1,6's made the power at max 4800 revolutions per minute...

410:- They are two completely different cars built during the same time period. Both articles are already quite long, merging them into one article would make it completely unusable. The Escort has a much more revered history in Europe than it does in America. Many Americans don't realise that there is another, competely different Escort apart from the little commuter car they are familiar with. --
53:
894:(albeit reluctantly) - I generally don't like the idea of merging articles like these, since the information on the one that gets merged tends to get buried, but in this case the Lynx article is a perma-stub and I doubt it will ever have enough content to stand alone. This is a rare case where the "sub-section at the end" merge would probably work. --

than the other. However, it seems that the worldcar-idea was not abandoned by Ford, since, again a
European of its origin, the Focus has become a success propably in part because of the tastes of the peoples have become more similar and the safety and emission legislations are closer to each other compared to the situation 20 years ago.
529:
people, conspired to make the worldcar a useless idea for the time being. Due to the problems it was better and not so much more expensive to create vehicles of their own in the different continents for the specific markets, which can be seen if you compare the mid 90'ies model
Escorts of both continent.

Most racing afficionados know that the
European car that was also called the Ford Escort has had a rich history in motorsports. But I'm kind of curious if the NA escort has ever appeared anywhere (my mother, when I was growing up, owned an '86 Escort L in California. I actually look back fondly on it

I'll admit I haven't researched the history of these cars much or anything, but if Gen 2 starts in 1991, then this information is inaccurate--the
American models were broken down into GTX, Pony etc. by 1988. I have an '88 Escort "Pony" model myself, and auto part websites such as napaonline.com will

In any case, although it would be interesting to compare the differences and the similarities of the Euro 3 gen and USA 1 gen
Escorts, it might need its own article because the history and the development of the two vehicles divorced to their own trails quite early and have ultimately very little in

As far as I can tell, the Mazda based USA model is somewhat larger and considerably different than it's
European counterpart and as in European perspective is not so much a "real" Escort than its built-from-scratch Euro-brethen of the same vintage, though I can't personally claim either to be better

This is asserted in the second paragraph of the article, with no citations for support. It also seems contradictory to the statements that this was one of the best selling cars in the US at the time of its introduction. Also, being 6 foot tall and having driven an Escort, it seemed quite roomy and

You are right in that my information is speculation and I have no legitimate proof. I have also tried to find clarity to the case from internet using mainly google, yet I could not find a single reference to the USA spec 1,3 (which would have most likely been a CVH series engine). I found two

different grille, taillamps and minor trim. It only spanned one generation and the design differences are not even unique enough to warrant it's own page, unlike the Taurus/Sable or Thunderbird/Cougar with distinct differences and generations.

I hereby move that the picture at the top of the page, which is of a second generation Escort, is removed. The three generations look very different. The picture makes the article look like it concerns only 1991-1996 Escorts.

I'm not going to make the edit until I verify, but I doubt that it's 52 hp. I've seen references elsewhere to that engine being 66 hp, and besides... 52 hp is what the VW 1.6L non-turbo diesel of that vintage put out.
