“we have so many fans, we don’t want to disappoint them”. you just did it. it has nothing of the capri. it has nothing, the sportiness, the elegance, the charm of a coupe, nothing. next idea? the Ford GT40 electric 7-seater suv? I’m curious to know the opinion of clarkson, may and hammond.

NAILED IT? nailed what? an epitaph? I had a capri when i was a kid, and this yellow suv aint it or a relative. looks more like a polestar than anything else. You should have asked Daggenham to design it instead of a French committee. makes me a bit sad really

If you want to go electric, but still want a coupe, then try the new Honda Prelude. That car has stayed true to the original, unlike the new Capri.

Abysmal. Half the muppets you interviewed can’t even pronounce Capri correctly, let alone design it right. The Capri didn’t need to return in the electric era, try take inspiration from the original and actually design something different and iconic. You haven’t captured the essence of the original at all, you’ve spat it out and trode on it. A “sports car for the family”, it has nothing sporty about it!

@fordescortproject9122 22 күн бұрын

I was saddened when I saw it... As someone who works with Fords, I'm not happy about it. I would have talked to the designer to think about it better. .I don't see it as a fantasy that it will have a big market! but good luck in the future! I can't applaud the designer..

@ruggieromarquez7705 21 күн бұрын

The problem is the stupid ideas the ones in the designer team, marketing and corporates has, thinking of using a legendary nameplate will bring more customers...the customers of the Capri era won't buy this p.o.s..if it has nothing resembling the one they grew up watching or owned..maybe use a new nameplate..also since it is an ev vehicle it will not be considered a car...just call it Ford anything with a letter or number..that is why the chinese and VW wins..cause they bring a entirely new product..means new nameplates, new model new everything

Since when have SUV and Capris ever been used in the same context?... I actually find the design irritating as they were barking up the right tree with some of the design choices but the nature of SUV design makes this thing redundant!. The fact they stopped Mondeo production for this is ridiculous. I'm literally in their target market as someone with a young family who wants a sporty motor. What I don't need is an oversized SUV that is more of a hinderance to drive on the tight roads by me than my current hatchback and even if I did want one, every other manufacturer has their own army of these bulbous heaps

I like the drawing concepts, but just hated the final product. Looks nothing like what I imagine a new Capri should look like. It has none of it's DNA or characteristics. One of the big selling points of the Capri is it's long nose accentuating it's stance. This new one has a short nose and a SUV stance. Who is Ford trying to kid? We, ex-Ford engineers know the original Capri and it's DNA and it's target customers. Did the current crop of designers even try to find out from some of us? If they did, they failed miserably to transfer that knowledge learned.

I think it safe to say, Ford have successfully reduced their potential market for this massively, I can’t see any previous Capri owners buying this (they may have done if it had a different name). Most annoying is the VW ID Buzz actually looks like a modern version of a classic, as did the new Scirocco, the mini, the Fiat 500 etc etc. Plus it’s basically a VW anyway.
