    Agreed. As much as I like UK Escorts (and derivatives like the Tempo and 1st gen US Escort), Sierras(XR4Ti) and the various Fox body cars, the Ford/Mazda cars were much nicer to actually sit in, compared to what I recall of those ones - at least from a kid's perspective. Except Contours, as a front passenger the transmission bulge was massive and (iirc) apparently the leftover of abortive plans to allow the platform to take a range of FF/F4/FR drivetrains, possibly including a V8 sitting longitudinally.


    I had a teacher who had a Probe real close to the metallic red release up front. She was the 'cool' teacher because she drove a sporty car and was in her 20s. I got that one right now, just waiting for a suitable set of donor wheels.

      I had a 1:1 93 GT. Loved that car to the max. I still can't believe it was as quick as it was for a V~6...

        Wow, I just had a flashback to when the Probe was the latest hot thing. It didn't last long though.

          Ford said it was to be the next Mustang ...................... Ford got many many letters, one from me of course, saying ARE YOU NUTS!!!!!

          But I must say that the Probe/Mazda Mx-6 was a very cool car with that V6. I remember a buddy went up against one in a race in his 82 Mustang GT, he lost.

          And I miss pop up headlights. My 86 Celica coupe had those, I think they are cool.
