Re: new ford capri
Looks like they have just copied the Scirocco idea and tewaked a fous to look more coupe.
I like it. They couldn't make it look any worse than the old Capri

Re: new ford capri
Yeah but you look at the old muscle cars from the US that they're resurrecting... they all look like the old ones but brought up to date. Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Camaro. This just looks like another stupid Focus. Ford has no nice looking cars in their European lineup apart from maybe the Mundano.

You can't really have a go at Ford for making cars that look a bit boring, a Ford Focus is like a washing machine, you don't buy it with any passion, it's just an appliance, a thing to do a job. It does that job very well but it's still just a tool for a job.

Re: new ford capri
Well they should drop an iron V6 in it,put some vents in the front wings and make sure it handles like a supertanker on drugs.
Thats a Capri.

Re: new ford capri
Oi benders, stop knocking the capri, it was an icon that sold in their millions
 The new one should take some of the old design features into account and just modernise them. Why im at it, the focus is also a great car, i dont own one btw, but have driven many of them, the best driving 'normal' car i have ever driven, the handling was outstanding for a budget type car. |

Re: new ford capri
