Having owned three capris in the past, I can honestly say this monstrosity has no resemblance to what a capri would look like if it had stayed in production and evolved over the years up to today. This model looks more like a modern day mustang. Fords designers haven’t got a fkn clue.

I’m not sure how they got from a sports coupe to a boring SUV and called it the same thing . Not for me just another hideous soulless modern car that unless you made an effort to check the badge out like so many others you wouldn’t have a clue what it was …I’m with you on this one Mitch 👍

@James87987

I believe a lot of the increase in car sizes over the last few years is to do with the NCAP safety ratings. The bigger the car, the bigger the crumple zones which help protect the occupants. So as you say, the small cars of today are still bigger than medium sized cars from 25 years ago. If in doubt, make it bigger.

Calling this a Capri is like calling a turd a wedding cake.

I've got a battery powered drill and that has zero residual value too. Still you can at least swop the battery over.

Should have called it the Ford Can-toner, it has a ring to it.

Great video. Ford Australia built a Ford Capri from 1989 to 1994. Was at the time accepted with mixed emotion mainly because of the small engine and it was front wheel drive and most Blokes down under didn't want a convertible as it wasn't thought to be giving the right impression unless you were a hair dresser. Some rare turbo versions are sought after today. To be honest the new cars being designed and built are being built for the the new generations with new families so they are never going to appeal to people like us. They aren't interested in working on cars and just want something reliable and new to drive around in.

It's almost as if Ford are trying to go bankrupt.

It's an abomination and not worthy of its name. We thought we were getting a proper sports coupe and it's just another crossover. And an electric one at that. Shame on you, Ford. Shame on you.

All of us that have to run a company vehicle for work will be driving EVs shortly. ITS NOT A REQUEST! 🤣😂

As a kid I remember when the Capri was first launched, I was mad about cars (and still am) and the whole thing was so exciting. It seems to me that due to Government pressure, cars are fast becoming appliances, no more exciting than a dish washer. It’s so sad.

100 % agree with everything you said. It’s uninspiring, a giant battery on wheels. It has zero original Capri heritage. A couple of nods to the design of the original body. It’s pure marketing giving it that name. It has us all talking. Any other name and it would have been released with very little attention from the press or public. ITS NOT A CAPRI!

Having owned 3 capris in my time I'm very disappointed as many others will be with this monstrosity!!! That's no Capri I'm afraid cheers 🥂

Wow another SUV. How exciting and its an EV too........icing on the cake.

I guess ford had to call it something , but looking at it , it would appear to have as much in common to the original as a greyhound has to a hippo …. Except maybe the ford badge.

Great content but the last original capri was the 280 Brooklands in 1988.....not 1986 as you state in the video.

My brooklands just appreciated by 50% lol

@ 0.12, the original Ford Capri was built between 1961-1963 albeit a Consul Capri, even so this 'New' Capri doesn't resemble either type of Capri

I liked the original Mk1. Lovely boxy shape. Metallic Green or black vinyal roof and yellow body. C'mon rebuild as it was. zinc dipped and built with the necessary obligatory safety features. Oh and for good measure make it easy to fix and clean to drive. Agate is pronounced (Ah-gate). This is what you get with Text to sound software.

Ford are mad. They have a great history and are dissing it with crappy SUV toy EVs - Puma, Mustang or Capri anyone? - I didn’t think so.

should have had a petrol engine version

Truth be told, those of us looking for a Capri that looks like the legend are going to hate it but, the target market is the youth with no memory of the original who are looking for a SUV.
