A few months ago, Car and Driver ran another one of their comparative tests,
this one including the infamous Cobra (latest) model.  They, too, made the
obvious comment, "...Escort copy".  Glancing through the letters column a
few months later, I noticed a letter from the President of Dynascan (makers
of Cobra), who said very strongly that the Cobra model was not an Escort
copy.  It was designed by their overseas design firm (read Taiwan) to be a
"...typical high value per dollar Cobra product..." (maybe not an exact quote,
but close).  We all know what market they were aiming at...

P.S.  This doesn't mean it's a lousy product.  Quite the contrary (Car and 
Drivers opinion ranked it quite high).
