and welcome!




that is part of it but what I hear is the bigger part is the lack or rear seat space for a family sedan

also to many bought base line cars, if you go the other way you could get a fully loaded escort for the base line price, that and people just didn't get the euro feel, plus only the se had that feel, otherwise it is a normal american car
