When the Ford Escort ZX2 coupe debuted, I found it to be boring and ugly at the same time. It was like the Ford Taurus's uglier wallflower little sister. The mid-section is ok - but it's nothing exciting. It's too high off the ground. Then there's the Ford Taurus / Lexus SC / Escort front end, which just looks like a cheap attempt at looking cool. And the weird stretched taffy taillights. Some may have liked it, but I found the whole cars very, very boring. And kinda dated even when it came out.
Then when it was getting long in the tooth, they gave it a facelift that not only made it look uglier but also older! Is it just me, or does the new grille give off an erie 1978 AMC Gremlin vibe? Don't mind the new front air damn though. And also strangely (most likely as they're too cheap) they didn't change the taffy taillights. Inexplicably, this was offered for a while when the Focus was out to make it's existants more confusing. It's finally dead.
