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.👍 1 -

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.Scotty "Mustang (+Matchbox) Mad Man!"
