Jusrt another SUV? GIVE US CARS BACK!!!!

[@aacmove]

48K for sh1t that looks like all the other sh1t on the roads. Now that is taking the p1ss!

[@glazzari70]

“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.

[@patrickm2191]

I'll tell you whey would say: "Rubbish!"

[@maygarland6123]

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

[@EpicSlash]

"Bringing back the legend" Where? I don't see it.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

Ford are taking the piss with that thing 😂

[@gergoillik1258]

Ruined an absolute masterpiece☹️ And the sad thing is that someone at ford thinks that this will live up to the legacy of the old 72' capri that was even raced in group 5 and it was successfull

[@MystikLFT]

I agree but it does look better than the explorer

[@jugg3r72]

Who cares??? It´s an amzing SUV with a beautyful name. I like it. I even don´t know what "group 5" was....what kind of music did they play?

[@tcat340]

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!

[@fledermausmann8607]

So the next SUV will be called Model T ? Ford is making some terrible decisions these days.

[@SpaalKodaav]

To be absolutley blunt, everyone involved in this should be fired and banned from the industry for their shame.

[@aquariusdSE]

I concur 😁

[@Beatstockpile127]

I like it a lot.

[@Loani_]

I was looking forward for a brand new capri 3 doors sports coupe, but this doesn't make me happy, you guys ruined another legend with those SUV's, i'm gonna stay with my original 1982 2.8i Capri

[@CadanHartleyElliott]

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.

[@penicheiropx]

Another SUV? 😒

NOT a capri ….. not even a coupe …. its just another 4 door bland ev 👎

[@hyperspacedude4936]

Whats next you going to bring back the RS200 as new another SUV or go bigger and make it a van?? if you going to keep killing off the names that made you great why not hit hard and bring back the name Escort and make that into the biggest electric SUV no one wanted

[@emirfenerbahce4606]

You can change the car, but not the customers.

[@grahamsmith5768]

Calling this the new ford is ridiculous. You want your heads banged together, for using the Capri name.for me it looks like a four wheel drive of some type. You designers just ain't got a clue.

[@redlineste4283]

Designed by people who haven't got a bloody clue what a Capri should be. Why is everything a SUV these days. Bland world we live in nowadays.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

The car you never promised yourself 😂

[@MrAzHussain]

Sorry but the legend is not back, The legend has been ruined thanks to you all at Ford 👏

[@rupertkaufmann]

Lol" bringing back a legend" - as an SUV. This is marketing people gone crazy: after the Mustang SUV now a Capri SUV, that looks like a copy of Polestar to boot? Very sad ...

[@fordescortproject9122]

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]

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

[@quantic7722]

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

[@ianknowles8934]

You didn't want to disappoint anyone ? Really ! Was there any customer consultation done as to what they would like to have seen in a new gen version ? Awful monstrosity !!

[@wo-olf]

This has got absolutely nothing to do with the Capri. "Bring back". "Next generation". No. This is a random four door SUV with the name Capri. Much like Chinese manufacturers buying famous brand names and bringing inferior products with said name, this car is all but a true Capri.

[@kitty2band]

To be honest the Capri wasn't all that, beyond the looks. But at least it had the looks. This thing is just cynical marketing of a lacklustre offering.

[@TL-xw6fh]

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.

Forgetting the misuse of the name but what you've created is another bland looking suv style electric car and it certainly does not capture the spirit of the original. You're kidding yourself if you think that

I think the classic light weight RWD with over 100KW is a great idea even if it's an EV..... The styling is pretty good with the visual aspects from the original model apparent. Bring on the new Capri I hope they can keep it affordable. My first car was a small Ford coupe. 😎🇦🇺👍

Ford you had one job, use the old shape and replace things with modern materials and tech. Give me half of your budget for this and even I could provide a better car that would pass all the tests needed to be on the road. How are you so stupid to completely avoid the capri shape and drive style?

No no no , they've gone and totally messed it up . Electric I can handle that but it should be the classic Capri shape and not this thing with just the name slapped on . Hopefully you get no sales and then listen to what the customers have been wanting for a new capri launch. What a bunch of Twonks !

You were indeed working with the precious nameplate, the Capri, and you have ruined it. Well done.

Great! First you obesify the Puma, you removed the focus & fiesta and now you ruined the capri. What's next? Turn a mondeo into another ugly fat crossover?

[@mikebull1972]

'are we able to truly deliver'. No. Another too-big, too expensive, boring looking tank of an SUV, totally unsuited to UK roads, and an utter insult to call it a 'Capri'. Not even a Ford underneath. Hideous.

[@crcomments8509]

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.

[@debblackwell2750]

Stand for excitement and you don’t want to disappoint you have destroyed it. This reminds me of the ford mondeo in the 2000’s blimey that was ugly on the re do. How can a sporty car go to an suv it looks like you’ve crossed it with a mustang and raised it loosing all the Capri essence.

[@smiley-qv3yc]

everyone involved in the making of this monstrosity needs to be sacked

[@originalpickaxe]

It may well be a perfectly decent electric vehicle but a Capri mk IV ? Way too many years gone by since the last of the Brooklands 280 to find any comparison , link , DNA to the Capri name whatsoever😢
