i get wot your all sayin, an im not sayin it aint a good car but bar the engine bein 130ps rather than 105ps its evactly the same as a xr2i 16v, some even have the same seats instead of the recaros, not to mention most other major components, the rs 1600i had a lot of parts bespoke to it as did the s1 and s2 and u cant even begin to put it in the same catogory as the mk1/mk2 escorts, it was just a bit of badge trickery imho
