Escort maybe, but 1999 for sure no: the movie is from 1997 |

I don't think this is an escort, it is too big for an escort! |

This is a later US version Ford Escort of the updated bodystyle sold from 1997-2000. It looks bigger than it is from the type of lens used in the pic. -- Last edit: 2005-12-24 03:32:11 |

It's a 1997 not a 1999... not only because the movie came out in 1997 but also because the backup lamps on the 1999 and up models are clustered with the tail lights not underneath. |

Pre-production . RocketMan was filmed from September 16, 1996 to November 25, 1996, and German Wikipedia states the 1997 Escort was released in spring 1997 in America. This would also fit as I saw a now removed 1997 ad for the car on YouTube that called it "new" and mentioned a special deal ending April 28, 1997. On the English wiki, only the article about the ZX2 states the spring 1997 release, but they may have been released simultaneously. -- Last edit: 2015-07-21 17:35:36 |

Now you really can't blame me...Stupid German Wikipedia gave me false information! I'll change that now... Revised by me, the article now reads: Im Frühjahr 1996 stellte Ford zum Modelljahr 1997 den Escort der dritten Generation vor, der wiederum auf einer Mazda-Plattform aufbaute und den es, anders als die Vorgänger, als viertürige Stufenhecklimousine und als fünftürigen Kombi in den Ausstattungslinien Basis und LX gab. EDIT: They reverted it and accused me of vandalizing the article for grime music, which I hadn't even heard of before I got that message. ![]() Undank ist der Welt Lohn... -- Last edit: 2015-07-30 14:50:42 |

Exactly the reason you should not have believed it. Anyone can change it whenever they want to. |

FYI - the ZX2 released in the spring of 1997 was a 1998 model. |
