I'd swap a couple of letters around and call it the Crapi

Revived as an SUV. The Capri gods are committing suicide right this moment.

So they heard the backlash from the Mach-E, and they were like, "Yes, let's do it again."

we DON'T need another CROSSOVER (edited almost 500 likes!!!? Thank you guys so much)

A corporate meeting designed this car

Ford Capri as a "coupe-style" SUV. In other news, there's apparently a reboot of Schindler's List, but this time, it's a teen romantic comedy!

Absolutely dull, monotonous and lifeless design, as I see it. And offensive for the people who know how the original Capri looked like.

i just lost all respect for ford!!!

Now that the Ford GT is out of production, I sure hope that Ford is busy reimagining the Ford Expedition as the next generation Ford GT. What a stroke of marketing genius that will be.

What a WEIRD decision for Ford to make… after nailing the Bronco decision, this makes no sense 🤦🏾‍♂️

The new EV is NOT a Capri....its an orthopaedic boot!

I thought that it was based on the Polestar 2 and not the ID5. It’s amazing how generic it looks

Ford is slowly becoming the Disney of the car world

The whole car industry has gone to hell

It's impressive that they managed to make a rebadged ID5 look like a rebadged Polestar 3.

The Brits are now going through what the Americans had to with the Mach E Beloved sports car turned crap SUV nobody asked for in a market already saturated with them

I’ve never seen or even heard of the capri. Just seeing them for the first time. No offense, the old one looks 5 billion times better. New one looks like a cute toy.

I remember when Mitsubishi made the Eclipse an SUV. I was dumbfounded. Then they discontinued the Evo. Just Ls all around for them.

Dead on arrival 😂😂

I try hard...but i cannot see any Ford Capri in this.

They did a Ford Puma move on this legendary car. How sad.

I saw it and thought "what Chinese car is coming to the US now"

One of the very few manufacturers who brings back old models from the past, keeping their original vibe, is FIAT. 500, 500e, Grande Panda, 124 Spider, ... Greetings from a 124 Spider driver 😎✌🏽

Hideous. They should have called it the Mondeo.

0:35 it’s like he’s ranting to the cat 😂

Ford's marketing department is something else, who is this brand meant to appeal to? The name Capri isn't going to appeal to those looking for an SUV/Crossover so why use it!? It's just another appliance on wheels, utterly forgettable. If it didn't have the manufacturer logo and I saw it for the first time, I would have immediately assumed it was another Chinese EV company stealing design elements from Volvo and Honda, the rear reminds of Nissan Z. I wonder what will happen to the Ford GT, will they bring an SUV to Le Mans within the next 10 years!? 🤔🤔🤣🤣

Im so sick of every dam thing being a crossover or an suv. Especially when bringing back a classic name. And an EV 🤢🤮 to boot!

"I'll leave ford as expected, found on the road DEAD." An Epic rap battle of histrory line

Why every companies wanted to risen a legendary nameplate to a freaking crossover. We don't want another crossover goddamnit.

It reminds me of the mustang mach e. The car has the name of a sports car with design elements but it's in the form of a crossover SUV lol

I'm not defending this by any means but unlike Mitsubishi with the Eclipse Cross, Ford at least tried implementing design cues from the original Capri like the rear quarter windows and the front end is a modern take on the design only taller. But regardless of what they try to do, it's still a slap in the face to the original Ford Capri.

My neighbour had a MK3 Capri 2.8 Injection when I was growing up, and that car was absolutely sick. It was black, red stripe down the side, and the classic almost "phone dial-esque" wheels with all of the round holes in the middle. I loved that car so much. The noise it made, the way it shook the ground when it went past, the smell, the way it looked. THAT was a Capri, and it's sl=till one of my favourite cars to this day. This isn't a Capri. This is downright awful. Ford having an 'inoffensive' car with that name has just so happened to offend everyone, even my mother, and she's not a car person.

You should make it a 2 door coupe to see what a GR86 competitor from ford would be like

What is the marketing/business reason for naming cars like this? The capri was a rally/muscle car which had a clear market for driving enthusiasts. A crossover CLEARLY IS NOT made for rally and for driving enthusiasts.

What is it with carmakers reviving nameplates of legendary cars and turning them into generic, inoffensive carmobiles? First the Mitsubishi eclipse, then the Chevy Blazer, and now this.

I think they made a mistake here , it’s supposed to be a Ford Caprison not a Capri. 😂

How did they make the mustang GTD and then make this afterwards

The problem is not bringing back and giving a "modernized" look. The problema is making it another boring crossover that don't even fill the same niche.

Their first strike was with the Mach E, them the second was the Puma, now they done with the Capri?

In evolutionary theory, there is a question why so many animals end up looking like crabs. Well, a lot of cars end up crossovers.

I'm a driving instructor and thought about getting a crossover for my students to learn in as this is the style of most cars being sold nowadays... ... I'm so fucking glad I went for a VW Scirocco instead 😂 my students love driving it, I love driving it - I couldn't imagine anyone being inspired whilst driving this generic iPad of a car.

The Taycan and the Polestar 2 got together and this is their bastardized child 😅

If they would have squished it to the size of the original capri, flipped the front bumper horizontaly and lowered the section with the lights front and back it would look like a modern capri

Doesn't look as my 18 yo remembrance of almost buying a 3 Liter black Ford Capri from a friend. This electric name sharer makes me cry.

No matter the name plate on the car, the design trend, where every crease or curves are smoothened so that every other car looks like each other, makes it that we have something bland, soulless. Car design is indeed dead.

To be frank, it’s a good looking car. The problem is that it’s called the Capri. It’s like if Chevrolet decided to make a Corvette SUV… …wait a minute.

I don’t think western car companies are winning against the Chinese car market. And it looks like all they have is heritage and nostalgia towards legendary cars from back in the day, trying to evoke a feeling rather than making great cars.

They should call a version of the mustang ecobost with a different face-lift a capri, instead of just descontinuing the mustsng ecobost in europe at all

we have already so many crossovers! enough !!!!

This shape/side profile actually reminds me of the Ford Escort (UK version) from the 1980s. I think Ford should have called this the "Escort" rather than the Capri.

Many manufacturers does this nowdays, make a generic and boring SUV and give it the same name as a beautiful classic.

It's the love child of a BMW X2 and Polestar 2. Should have called it the 2X2

Dodge Challenger was a perfect modern interpretation with certain mustangs. Hopefully the Hyundai comes to market.

Hey look! a potato!

Issues with interior: headup display taken straight from VW and just put plastic around it… Haptic touch ‘buttons’ on steering wheel and centre console… Ford took soooo long to release an EV and have used parts from VW yet didn’t listen to ANY feedback VW got on these interior issues and straight up made the same mistakes in both their Explorer ev and Capri ev. Like WTF 😂

The fact that people could theoretically be monitored and made public at any time makes many of us want to disappear into the crowd. This gives a feeling of security. People no longer want to stand out, they believe it makes them vulnerable. And that translates everywhere in product design. That's also why they take a name that was popular from the past. I dont wanna go to deep into it, there is so much psychology involved and I'm not a prof, I just do the math.

It's because there is a law that states that if you don't use a name in X years it becomes public domain so they just slap old names on generic SUVs just to not lose it

I think the designers tried their best within the boundaries they were given... And I'm sure they didn't want to make this abomination

What's worse to me is that the design is clearly inspired by the older Capri and, if they made it into a coupe, it could've worked really well. Wasted opportunity by Ford

I can't wait for the Ford GT40 4 door crossover with a rwd or awd option for around US$70k.

If this actually sells I will be surprised

“It’s not offensive” to most yes. To the purists/enthusiast it’s extremely offensive. To me it’s boring and I’m an enthusiast, so it’s doubly offensive, the worst car design in my opinion is boring car design. At least we remember the Multipla, the Juke or rodius.

They could have named it the new Edsel.

I agree completely! It's just another generic SUV/crossover. When every new model is just boring, doesn't have any connection to the brand in design, even annoys people with the model name - why would anybody buy this, when you can buy any other generic SUV from any brand? Then you might as well buy chinese cars with ridiculous names, like "XPeng". In Europe, Ford's strongest models in numbers were the Fiesta as small compact, Focus and Mondeo, whicht is the Fusion in the US, afaik. They've stopped production of all of these models now, which were they best horses in the stable. They do sell the Mustang officially in Europe, which wasn't always the case. That's the only model they have, when customers neither want to buy a SUV or crossover, or an electric car. Plus, they close whole production plants in Europe regionally, and people notice this. I'd say, that Ford in Europe is officially f...d big time! News say, they want to stick to combustion engines a little longer than expected. We'll see what will happen! Many car manufacturers not only have a problem with bland, generics designs. They also fall, because e-mobility in general isn't as successful, as they thought it was. Turns out, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai were right with their approach, producing what the market wants - not what governments, politics and eco-activists want. Living costs are getting higher and higher, and they think, these really not cheap cars will sell like sliced bread. It's crazy!

They got a Polstar2 made it ugly and more expensive....eh ok. good luck with that

How dare you 😅🤦‍♂️

This monstrosity is up there with BMW making a 2.4 tonne hybrid "M5" and Mercedes making a 2L 4cyl hybrid and calling it a C63

You nailed the part where it's a Chinese off-brand car with a different nameplate. It's what it is.

To be honest FORD didn't create a design philosophie over the last decades, every generation looked completely different. The only real constant is the F150.

Old= good New= bad

The problem is that somehow they still become financially successful. I constantly read people saying they hate SUVs, ESPECIALLY the ones bastardising the names of legendary cars of the past. But then they sell like crazy anyway. I will never stop hating SUVs.

AI rendered designs are nicer than manufacturer designs these days.

looks good... for a car that shouldve been named ecosport.

Del Boy would not be happy with this capri ghia.

It’s interesting that you mention they’re trying to make it look lower. I think the market has spoken… in spite of what I want, people seem to want to be high. I do think it feels like Ford ev, which doesn’t much feel like regular ford.

Same with the eclipse

Ford GT40 SUV next so I can bring my kids to soccer and visit my wife's boyfriend like it's 1966 🤪😍

Mustang, Capri.. Who is next ? Escort ? GT ?

They could've call it the Escort... no one would've care.... but the Capri, that IS going to make people talk!!!! (in a very bad way)

It is so funny when more people are excited about the Renault 5, which was mainly affordable people's mover with some option for a more powerful engine 😂. Renault did good work reviving design.

Absolutely agree, sick of bloated cross-over

The two side-by-side is hilarous 😂

People were mad indeed. Even Ford dealers were pissed off.

I really thought its a polestar first

Another mid-size crossover? Groundbreaking.

Gotta love the new Ford Crappy

Should have called it the Ford E-scape

it looks ok for a modern day production it just has nothing to do with old name

Just another soulless SUV.

Even your cat looked annoyed with Ford.

"The design is not bad, but it becomes bad because of the nameplate" - couldn't say it any better!

100% agreed!

How is this a surprise!?!?! Did we forget about that mustang abomination THAT FAST??????

The original Capri was sleek and affordable. The new whatever that is...a loaf of bread.

SKETCH MONKEY! Could you do ford kinetic design and kinetic design 2.0. this was there most cohesive design era in Europe. The cars had a strong brand identity and emphasized dynamic design, especially the window shape. It was best done in the fiesta 2008 and especially the 2013 model.

The shape is like that of a brick that's been rounded by the waves of the ocean for 50 years

Looks like puma Renamed 😂😂

Italien government to the rescue: I am sure the Ford Capri is not made in Italy where the island of Capri is located. Can’t they intervene like with the Alfa Romeo Milano/Junior -‘d save us from This blasphemy?

lol the thumbnail's killing me

Your reaction when you first saw the car 😂. I knew it was gonna be an SUV instead of a 2 door coupe 🙄.
