WRONG!!!!  The Sierra is a rear wheel drive replacement for the immensely
popular(in England), but very poorly regarded Cortina line.  Except for 
being a hatchback, it is not at all related to the Escort, which is front
wheel drive, much smaller, and has a totally different lineup of engines, 
even if some of them are very similar in size to engines offered in the Sierra.

Well, not to a lot of Europeans.  Quite a few realize that their cars are 
superior, at least for their driving conditions.
