Ford introduced the sixth generation of the Escort in 1995, but the car was so similar to the fifth generation that it took a keen eye to see the differences.

The fifth generation of the Escort was a car built for common families and enthusiasts. While the former usually went for other body styles, the latter fell for the coupe.

Ford introduced the third generation of the Escort in 1980, and it was available in a few body shapes, including a three-door version.
