New Ford Capri

[Easy-X]

This is some extreme bullshit

The "new" Capri is an electric SUV?!

It's just trading on the name you struggle to see any styling cue that reminds you even slightly of the very striking original.

I don't think the Ford Fiesta looks anything like the original either. But that's different - time and gradual mutation and tweaks of design over each release has produced the variation we have in that model line name.

But agreed, calling a generic car, which hasn't really evolved from a specific line of model (??) - hasn't been around for decades - a Capri is silly. It's the complete opposit of what a capri was.
Just selling the name. Just as disapointing as Hellraiser 11.

Im sure that can be applied to other cars as well. Another ford fcukup, the electric Mustang. But then Ford has re used names over and over again and it's only people old enough to remember the Capri that will moan too much.

Dead ringer for the Capri ... it had wheels, body panels, paint, headlights etc as well

My dad had two of them, loved the look of them back then and now, that new piece of shit doesn't deserve the name!

The Capri was basically an American looking Cortina with a V8 option
but still a 'Dagenham dustbin' not that any of the other makes of the time were much, if any better.
My Maxi 1750 was a better car imo,
I loved me old Maxi, a big comfy practical setee of a car it was.

I'd like one of coke bottle cortinas again we did have an estate version late 70s it was hideously unreliable but felt like a 'big' car at the time.
You seemed to waft about in it and quite practical had allsorts in the back and was good to sleep in for a weekend away.
If they could make cars almost replicating capri and cortina - even if they had to be electric they'd sell well.
