Has to be the Mk2.. if the 360 were a black 3 door glt in the same style, thought - it'd be a tough call :)

The escort is just better designed.. Love them.

While some other wheels and details would do the volvo a lot of good.

tbh I cant believe how modern escorts look the way they do! - the mk1 and mk2 are timeless and far better looking than the ugly modern ones imo

The RS's wheels are away getting re-polished, they were diamond-cut about 15 years ago before I got it and had bloomed.... The Ally Cats on it now are ear-marked for a mk2 Ezzy 'project' I hope to start soon...
As for the GLT's wheels, I'm thinking of having them acid-dipped and polished, I think they would look excellent in a chrome finish combined with the black paint

I wish that i could drive Escort like that on ice or on snowy roads. I think it would be lot of fun or it was when i did exactly like that in my 740 but it was bit all over the place when flooring it coming out of the corners.
Also it would be nice to compare how the 360 would compete against Escort or 740 on snow or ice.

especially when fogs and spots are fitted
