Well, here in indonesia we still have the Ranger, sold for 22k, which is quite a steal.

The Ford Contour is the American version of the European Ford Mondeo. This was the replacement of the Ford Sierra, and middle-class. The Escort was more of a compact here.

1995 Ford Mondeo:

1995 Ford Escort (Euro):

1995 Ford Fiesta:

1995 Ford Scorpio:

1995 Ford Transit:

Not really sure how much more we had at that time, I wasn't that old.

Quite different from the Ford EU lineup of 1995. There were the:
Fiesta (3 door and 5 door)

Escort (3-door and 5-door hatch, 5-door wagon, 4-door sedan, 2-door convertible)

Mondeo (5-door hatch/liftback, 5-door wagon, 4-door sedan)

Scorpio (4 door sedan, 5-door wagon)

Galaxy (minivan)

In addition there were also the US imports, like the Probe, Mustang, Explorer, Maverick, Thunderbird and Windstar. But nobody bought any of those.

There were some vans as well. Transit (SWB, LWB, high roof, low roof, minicab and more)

Ford Courier. There were versions based on the Fiesta and on the Escort. Both were replaced by the Transit Connect a few years later.

Did I miss any?

Galaxy, Courier and the many US imports nobody bought. Apparently we had the same idea, you were first though.

Thanks, add the Galaxy to that list. Always thought that was launched a couple of years later..

The Courier is mostly just a earlier gen Fiesta with a box on the back so didn't bother putting that in.

I don't understand why there is no love for the aerostar? It's RWD, avalaible with a manual, and shaped like a bloody space shuttle.
