The
Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the
Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it’s got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the
Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a
Ford showroom in the near future. If
Ford wasn’t seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in
Auto Express indicates that the concept’s reception has changed all that.

No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said «it could work in other places,» bolstering the comments of «a senior Ford insider» who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the
Focus had been raised. That’s a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we’d be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next ‘who knew?’ market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
