More than 10yrs ago, Ford had already announced to the automotive world that they would only be building Trucks and Suvs moving forward. The reason was that their data showed that consumers were moving away from sedans, hatchbacks, coupes and going all in on SUVs and their car division was kinda losing money as compared to their truck division which was doing fine. It is already surprising they kept the Focus and Fiesta for as long as they did after they killed the Mondeo, Puma and KA.

It looks like a a fat Polestar. EV skateboards allow such an opportunity for designers to make beautiful cars and this isn't one of them. I have grown up with an affection for the Ford brand name. Whilst I appreciate that the Capri of old, can't be the Capri of today, this design language is not something I could ever see on my driveway.

Ford really need to up their game in the electric space. This doesn't feel like the car to do that.

The thing that makes it all the more sad is the old Capri was probably more aerodynamic than that thing and therefore far more suitable to be an EV!

That looks as much like a Capri as I look like Alexandra Daddario.

So... from the side they made a Polestar 2 SUV! As with the Explorer my reaction is... Meh.

It's an SUV, more closely related to a Transit van than an old Capri.

Even the Capri Sun juices are more Capri than this

An overweight Polestar 2? I'll pass and keep my real Polestar 2.

The styling kinda reminds me of a taller polestar 2 from the side, but a little more lower rent.

Plenty of room for tins of soup. @ £42k that's all you'll be eating 😂

OMG not everyone wants a SUV. Especially one with that name. Why couldn’t they come up with a modern interpretation of the original classic. It’s sacrilege!

What is the point of this car? If the Explorer already exists, as well as the ID5, the Tesla Y, the ioniq 5, the ev6.. I could go on and on. The MG4 has sold by the bucket load because people are crying out for small decent BEVs. Also the CEO of Ford recently said people need to fall back in love with small cars... So here's another big car.

Looks like a jacked-up Polestar 2 imo. Ford cannot make Evs profitably, so it makes sense for them to use an established platform. That happens already with lots of brands technically, which share Chinese or Stellantis platoforms. .. economy of scale I guess. I don;t personally think the new car has to look like an old car 9Capri) - the new Renault 5 does not look like an old Renault 5 imo. It's an evolution in design.

Polestar will sue Ford for this

It is well specced ? Well, so it should be at those prices.

Absolutely horrendous, what we are witnessing here is the end of Ford , and that’s from someone who has owned multiple capris, so if this is fords future you can keep it
