They are either not too strict about that rule or they don't know much about modern car production history... I bet they would class an escort with everyone else without a blink. They classed McTimson's tercel in the regular category although the tercel went out of production in '99. Even if you made the argument that the Echo is a continuation of the tercel line, the echo went out of production in '05. I think they should class cars that have been out of production for a set number of years... like 25. It's even difficult to make a foreign class because as we know there's no difference between some USDM cars and "foreign cars". For example a metro vs. Darin's firefly, which we all know is the same car, was classed in the out of production category, even though one could argue that the metro was in production later than the tercel. Guess it's just up to you to figure out who you're competing against and whether or not placing matters to you when considering whether to argue about what class to be placed in.
