Ford should look at what Renault is doing with the Renault 5. That’s how you bring back an iconic name.

[@grizzly8810]

Absolutely. The R5 is one of the most interesting new EVs at the moment, and probably the most interesting one from a European OEM. I am seriously considering it as my new winter / city car next year. I'm holding out for the cheaper / smaller battery version, since it will be my second car and I will use it almost exclusively short distance.

ford is just slapping model names that remotely have any recognition on their EVs hoping it gives their cars cred. They did the same thing with the mustang EV. It obviously backfires. There is nothing wrong with giving a new name for their EV line up.

[@scott8919]

It wouldn't surprise me if Ford did it on purpose in the same way Toyota has a Corolla and a Corolla Cross... that is, they can say they sold X amount of Mustangs and not necessarily have to make a distinction because they're both a "Mustang". It's also easier and cheaper for Ford to use trademarks they already own and aren't using than trying to come up with a new name that no one else has taken.

[@N1ckZ]

It doesn't backfire though.

[@jeffreyt02]

Yeah however the mustang was a great car for its time… this however 😂

[@davidcolin6519]

The trouble with "just giving it a new name" is what has happened with the VW ICE names. With the exception of the old names (Golf etc), their entire lineup of "Crossovers" have instantly forgettable names. I'll admit that they're instantly forgettable products as well, with styling which always looks like a VW, but they're also all without any actual, you know, style. Jeez, the legacy automakers chose a truly TERRIBLE time to completely drop the ball. I'm really starting to wonder whether ANY of them will survive without really serious governmental support.

[@davidcolin6519]

@@N1ckZ I've seen 1 Mustang Mach E since its launch. I don't know where all those "sales" went, but I suspect that Ford basically forced their dealers to buy them and "pre-register" them.

At some point in the next few years, I need to think about replacint my 3 series coupé that is getting rather long in the tooth (unless I decide to do a running restauration and keep driving it as a youngtime, but that is another story). BMW currently doesn't offer a 2 door coupé with an electric drivetrain. Also, I dislike the design of more recent BMWs. The only current option for somebody looking for an elegant and sporty 2 door coupé (ideally more GT than sportscar) with an EV drivetrain, seems to be the MG cyberster. If Ford would bring a GT coupé in the spirit of the original Capri, I for one would definitely take it into close consideration as a replacement for my current 3 series.

[@graemechurch6964]

Looking at what Renault is doing with the 4, 5 and Twingo, exciting reinventions of loved old cars, this is really disappointing from Ford. I would really like to see a modern interpretation, but it seems silly referring to this car as a Capri.

[@senja572]

Renault has done the same thing with 4. 5 was 4's successor, both the same class car. Now, 5 is the true refresh of the old 5. 4 is a crossover... I mean, how could they be two different cars now, when they have been the same class car before, one older and one newer version...

[@grizzly8810]

@@senja572 The Renault 5 wasn't the successor for the Renault 4. Renault 4 and 5 were built in parallel on the same platform during the entire run of the original ('72 - '85) Renault 5. The two models had quite different target groups. The Renault 4 was practical (always 4 door only from the beginning!), affordable and robust and generally targeted more towards rural target groups. The Renault 5 was elegant, modern, better equipped and (optionally) sporty. Until '79 it was available with two doors only. Its target group was more urban and fashionable. So while I dislike SUV crossovers in general, I do think I understand where Renault is trying to go with this. The 5 as the new elegant urban choice, and the 4 as the "practical" SUV for those that actually believe that SUVs are practical... I am seriously considering the new Renault 5 EV to replace my slightly aging first generation Twingo that I currently drive as a winter / city car.

I'm not at all keen on the recent trend for fabric dashboard and door top coverings. In every car I've ever owned the dashboard gets covered in dust, and the door tops in kids sticky fingerprints, and water when you open the doors in the rain. When these surfaces are covered in a nice durable vinyl a quick wipe with a damp cloth sorts them put. Having to use a vacuum cleaner on these surfaces is just something extra to do. Whilst I'm moaning about interior materials, reviewers always go on about the lower doors being "too plasticy", this is where muddy feet come into contact regularly. Give me a hard wearing durable easy to clean plastic every time, it's not as if you are constantly fondling the lower door is it?

[@jimcabezola3051]

YOU should have been at Ford's marketing department when they named this thing. It does the SAME job as a Mondeo: schlepping people to and from work daily. YOUR answer to the naming problem is perfect! Ford just wanted to rewrite its past by mis-using the Capri name... Were I an owner...I would have rearranged the letters to read "Crapi". Until...I saw YOUR video. Renaming my hypothetical Capri to "Mondeo" would be the genius-level move Ford should've taken in the first place! Excellent points made in your video! Who knows? Perhaps Ford are watching and will correct their mistake.

A good honest review. Like "Brian", I'm also old enough to remember the original Capri. In fact, I had 4 of them and loved them dearly. As Ford stopped building them, I swapped for their American cousin, the Mustang, instead. Now I have two of those and love them! This new Capri is nothing more than a marketing exercise. Just like the Mach E, that shares nothing with the original pony car other than the badges......but at least you can still buy a REAL Mustang. I'm a life long Ford fan but they really are taking the pee with the names of some of their EVs. "The Legend Is Back"? No, no it's not. I'd take the Explorer over this for the very fact is NOT a Capri. The reality is the new Capri and the Mach E are relatively boring EV crossovers that blend in with hundreds of other boring EV crossovers and the ONLY way they can get people talking about them is to bring back legendary names. Now, if this were a great looking 2 door coupe with EV underpinnings, it might deserve the Capri name. But it isn't and it doesn't.
