OK, since you asked. The back looks fine, good even. The side profile is decent because it looks like a Polestar. The front is just appalling. Like the blandest, most uninspired front end you could possibly imagine. Then it has an identikit interior to the Explorer, which already borrowed the worst elements of the VW ID cars and they want to charge a fortune for it. Hard to avoid the conclusion that Ford have given up at this point. Oh and I don't care about the name, but that's possibly because I'm not old enough to have experienced the original.

The plate is a show one - it uses numbers and letters which can be reversed so that when a picture is flipped, the plate reads properly whether it's lhd (HIY I88) or rhd (88I YIH). It's a pretty common tactic in car adverts.

Agree with you regarding potentially naming it Focus electric, instead of its name disappearing, the ‘Capri’ is a poor choice for us olds..thanks Nobby, excellent review.
