Why do you guys need to ruin every f'cking name... This isn't a capri.

[@Ruthless121]

Excuse his French 😮

[@brukanbrugner6978]

So what? Should stay unused for the rest of the life on Earth? Should the name be retired as the numbers of huge players?

[@farko2777]

@brukanbrugner6978 as long as they don't make a coupe sports car again, yes then just let the name rest in peace...

[@lynx7575]

Because they are completely out of business

[@antcox2006]

Don't know what people were thinking was going to be produced. A Jaguar XJ220, Sierra Cosworth, Lotus Esprit. All iconic names from the 80s and 90s but if they were released now would be nothing like the cast iron bodies beasts of before. Cars have moved on and so do some people. All ford have done is released a car under a familiar model name. Looks like a Cayenne in design

What happened to Ford 😩 My favourite car maker, from the Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Escort, Sierra, Granada, the RS, ST and XR models and of course the Cosworths, Ford is almost unrecognisable now with the Puma, Kuga, and this new Capri 😥 obviously only personal preference but I think a few others must feel the same.

[@CadanHartleyElliott]

Well, we've always got Vauxhall. They're not going down the same road.

[@adriandavies927]

Sierra or Cortina might have been more appropriate given they generally had 4 or 5 doors, excepting the lovely early 3 door Sierra's and Cossies.

[@adriandavies927]

I don't like to be negative, however I think Ford have missed an opportunity, the Capri was sleek and this most definitely isn't. The front end is really blocky, had Ford designed an electric Capri that was a two or three door coupe I might have been interested. In the same way Dodge's new Charger is a coupe or 4 door saloon (sedan) and as an EV or with a petrol engine, which is brilliant and would have worked in the UK with the Capri. Sadly this is just another electric SUV of which there are far too many on the market already and definitely doesn't meet my needs or interest.

[@Daniel-qs8ec]

I'm sure the ford design team is doing everything they can to put ford out of business lately 🤣 this can is as much a Capri, as lizzo is a supermodel 😂🤣😂

Sorry Ford, you've blown it. If we want a Polestar 2, we'll buy a Polestar 2 which is better looking and doesn't have a name which is totally wrong. What next, a Ford Escort 7 seater SUV based on the VW ID Buzz?

[@kaizer_0425]

[@LeweMan]

This is why you shouldn't let marketing dictate what cars to make or name

[@TwoBlackMarks]

OK, hold on here a minute, so the Ford Capri was an classic 2-door coupe sport-ish car, a fun car, closest modern car would be like an Supra, MX5, BRZ something like that. So when Ford thought to make a new Capri, they tought we should take an Volkswagen, a 4-door electric Volkswagen and rebadge it as an Ford Capri, what? How could they go so far off track? It has totally derailed. I guess it probably has drum brakes in the rear, that is a similarity, and it actually has rear wheel drive, but I do not think that was planned similarities, it must have been a really big coincidence. The car looks totally OK, similar to other modern cars, but why call it that name? Why does not enyone produce a smaller, cheap and economical car like they did before?

[@user-kc3fn1gu6g]

Electric cars are the end of driving as true motoring enthusiast and certainly will be the end for the working class. Atleast if my clutch goes it's reasonably cheap to fix in comparison to a faulty battery cell.

[@CadanHartleyElliott]

You should see what Toyota has. Three very exciting cars with thankfully no electric power at all! Those cars are the GR86, GR Yaris and Supra. Much better.

[@gerv55]

It’s basically an explorer with a few parts changed and a new name slapped on it.

[@kennythemeat]

if they build just another suv they could come up with just a random name. suvs are totally random anyway. you could change this car out with any other suv from any other company. it would still look like every other suv.... they could use deluxe as a name since it is similar with the overall shape of a super deluxe. and its probably the closest car that fits into the suv universe.

[@TheMilkMannnn]

I’m just wondering how they’ve (allegedly) cranked out so much more range that VW with the same platform

Old Henry Ford will be turning in his grave. What drug-crazed zombie came up with the idea of naming an ugly boxed battery with such an iconic name. And the tag line "its what the Capri was destined to be"!!!! What a crock of diahorea 😂

[@gavintsang5778]

As a former owner of a 2014 Ford Focus Ecoboost, I recommend people NOT to buy a Ford as these cars require a lot of regular expensive repairs. Best go for more reliable and durable Japanese cars like Lexus, Toyota, Honda. I recommend people to get a Lexus NX - perfect size, perfect suitability, very comfy seats and top quality fuel efficient driving performance.

[@davidlloyd9598]

This is embarrassing. You can't call that a Capri. Bodie and Doyle's Capri is iconic and such a great design and I recall drawing Capris in school. This has none of the Capri DNA!

[@Theodozioos]

Most of yall saying that this is an disapoitment but u should take that as a fact that they have to make a car that will be selling in these times and not just people who are fans would buy it

[@nottmfunguy]

And it wont sell!

[@jamiepops62]

Then give it a new name as well!

[@nottmfunguy]

@@Theodozioos really? in the real Capri's day, it was driven by men, smoking Bensons or JPS, going to the pub, getting a few bevvies down their necks and then wheel spinning away, with lowered rear shocks and tailpipes nearly scrapping on the road, that was the must have.

[@michaelb9664]

@Theodozioos this has a starting price of £48k, I dunno how many people in ‘these times’ are going to be in a position to buy it and it has zero resemblance with the iconic car it has been named after. This is not a sporting coupe, it’s a bloated 5 door SUV so they should have come up with a new name. It should have never been called Capri and the legend is definitely not back. Ford are going down the toilet.

I can excuse the Mustang Mach E, but the Capri? You could have at least made an EV sports car slightly similar to the Capri. I'm pro-EV, but anti-SUVification Hell, it looks like a Polestar in the middle

[@kylebradburn3235]

The Ford Probe was supposed to be a Mustang... but the American market said: "FWD and no v8 engine, that's not a Mustang, don't dare call it one..." and Ford listened. Now we have the all new "Mustang Mach-E" so why shouldn't we have a new "Ford Capri". Let Ford keep reviving these "Legends" with some trash SUV's that truly embellish zero excitement or resemblance to their original model. I wonder why people don't care about cars anymore? Even the adverts a joke.

[@petermcelvogue7521]

A Polestar 2 with a Capri style front grill.

[@andrewcrow3266]

Ford are entitled to re use names on new models. However, the new model "Capri" does not remind me of the older ones of the 1970s. In fact, this looks to me like a new "Volvo." And yes, the new Volvo does not remind me of their older models either. Still, for all that, they are both nice looking new cars.

The car industry as become one of those pre-made white label websites. You just have to insert name and logo, and bam, there’s a new model right there. It takes a lot of disrespect for consumers to pick a standard already used car design, and stamp the name Capri on it. They did the same with the Mustang and Puma. Don’t lie to us, you weren’t inspired by nothing, Ford picked a standard design and then thought about ways of selling that box, using capri as a bait.
