I couldn't agree more, why even entertain the idea of turning a legend that was "sleek and formidable" into just another SUV (that doesn't stand apart from all the other EV SUV's) I have nothing against them, but a Capri they are not!

The original was a heap of rubbish, so might as well use the name.
Killed the Fiesta and brought this eyesore out. Top work on losing customers.
In your own commentary the Capri was "sleek". This is an electric brick. It's not related to the Capri in any way. Ford, you have clearly lost the plot.
That is not a Capri. You could have easily made something to rival a Tesla model 3 with a coupé or a 4 door coupé. But no. You've just slapped an anonymous body on an SUV platform and hope your marketing team can work wonders.

Absolutely not a Caori. Ugly, huge, boxy, boring, anonymous. On an SUV platform. Does not look like a Ford. Faceless, soulless and could be by any Manufacturer! No Character! Where are the Ford Cars? Far too many SUV's each completely interchangeable with the other despite the nameplate. Fiesta mark 8 still the best seller and now already poleaxed! This is one car I won't be promising myself! This is the end of Ford unless radical changes are made. Like an actual Ford Capri coupe that can perform!

If you took away the Ford badge and the word Capri, you'd be non-the-wiser of any relationship between the two vehicles. Not convinced. The Capri was such an iconic vehicle, surely more could have been done to encapsulate that?!?

This is hugely disappointing, just as the mach e was. Calling this a capri and the mach-e a mustang is just nonsense. Not to mention its built on a VW ID4 platform, which was way behind competition when it came out, yet alone today. 150kw charging speed cap is considered sluggish these days. And than ford's surprised people are buying Kia and Hyundai, whose cars not just look awesome, but also way better tech wise.
Could’ve made an actual Capri for the modern day, instead you chose to be a sheep in the industry
Capri? You're having a laugh
someone was actually paid to design this...
Month ago saved mk1 from scrapyard. It was good choice i think 😂
This is a disgrace. My first 2 cars were capris and I've owned a 2013 mustang GT since new. I'll never buy another Ford. I knew when the s550 came out it mark d the beginning of the end. Whoever approved this must be fired.

I was thinking the same. It’s not a good advert when the car that died almost 40 years ago looks beautiful beside this nondescript blob which is too tall, too overweight, too short in the bonnet and has too many doors to be considered as anything like a Capri. Sadly the legend is definitely not back and this just confirms it never will be.
I can't express how disappointed I am. You didn't stop at reusing a completely unrelated name on a goddamn electric 5-door SUV based on the VW ID.5, but you also actively keep on trying to SOMEHOW connect it to a sleek, 2-door coupe and pushing the narrative, that "original Capri drivers" would want something like this. Tarnishing your own legacy and ignoring loyal customers and fans is never a good idea. Same goes for the concept of an "electric SUV".

When the news came through that ford were re-launching the Capri, I ran to my computer in a state of giddy excitement. When I saw it I dropped to my knees and sobbed.
This is not a Capri! I had in my life as driver 4 Capris! one Mk I, two Mk II and one Mk III. I know from what I talk. A real Capri only may have 2 doors and ab big taildoor. The face should be designed like the old Capris. This new "Capri" is too anounymous .

Wow just read some of the other posts on here after I posted mine😂😂 consensus is it's NOT a Capri and Ford should have called it something else big own goal from Ford in trying to capture the status of an old model with one that looks nothing like it, come of Ford stop reusing past model names, Puma, Mustang, Mustang Mach e and give us a new classic instead of trying to reinvent old ones that had their time and place in Ford history
This could've been an Explorer Sport or something, Capri doesn't fit with this body type
I bought one of the last of the line 1.6 Laser when i was 18. The car wasn't 3 years old when i got it. Why the hell didn't you learn from the Mustang and do a Retro style body with modern running gear. Say a joint venture with Mazda for their RX-8 replacement. Rear wheel drive too and a hybrid to keep Greta quiet ish. I'd have been interested then. But this nah! It's a pass. Judging by the comments, Ford you built a dud!

Designers be like: this is a banger, we fixed another model like we did with puma and mustang!
'The legend is back' they claim as they unveil a car that is the polar opposite of what the real Capri was. This is an insult to the buying public. I certainly won't be putting my hand in my pocket.
What a cruel thing to do to a car. it's mournful looking face beating that of The Ford Scorpio of 1995 to 99? Where it sits their crying "I am sorry, I am not like my Dad of the Eighties!"
