MsDano85gt Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 shapes of the rear windows are slightly different, wheelbase looks like it may be slightly longer too but overall same look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heinz74 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 the euro Capri was a much bigger car..it shared some of its drivetrain with the Taunus ..it was also available with a v6 engine.. the Escort really is a small car even for our standards..
