No Escape ST planned

No Escape ST plannedThe thing is that alot of people don't know how powerful even the last gen 2.0L ecoboost is in the Escape-My parents have a 13 Ti FWD that chirps the tires no problem and my wife's 2017 AWD has no issues accelerating or dealing with traffic on the highway.


I just wonder how much suspension tuning there is that can be done to improve the ride without compromising comfort with it.


I still see small compact CUVs as mid size sedan replacements and performance models in that segment have never been a big seller. The orginal SHO and maybe the Grand National come to mind, but one was pretty expensive and the other was a coupe. Given the target market is younger professionals and that segment not being really into cars generally (painting with a board brush), I still don't see how it can be practical, given Ford's lack of success with the RS (which a Escape ST would be slighter cheaper then) or even to a lesser point the Focus ST...which topped out under the Escape Ti in pricing. They seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place with pricing...they can't bring in something cheap and good...the Ecosport is just ok.Tue, 28 Apr 2020 14:58:13 +0000
