Escape and C-Max share windshield/windows?


Recommended Posts

I was doing some comparison shopping over the weekend and went to visit the dealer to see both cars. Most of the interior pieces are identical: same dashboard, same seats, same interior door panel, and same sunroof. The exterior at first looked different but when you see them side by side, it appears that the upper greenhouse on both cars are identical. My naked eye test says the front windshield and the 6 side windows are identical on both cars (C-Max has an extra triangle on the A-pillar). The rear hatch window might be the identical as well but the slightly different angle of slope made it difficult to say for sure.

 

Anyone else notice this? I guess this is a good kind of cost cutting... glass molds are expensive but unless you really park them next to each other like I did, you can't tell they are the same.
