Just stop if u are going to use the Capri name make it look at least remotely like the actual Capri. Plz stop destroying iconic names.
Try a Mazda MX-5, then.
@@CadanHartleyElliott mx5 stayed true to its name so far
I couldn't agree more, why even entertain the idea of turning a legend that was "sleek and formidable" into just another SUV (that doesn't stand apart from all the other EV SUV's)
I have nothing against them, but a Capri they are not!
At least they could have killed the Cougar and left the Capri alone.
The original was a heap of rubbish, so might as well use the name.
Killed the Fiesta and brought this eyesore out. Top work on losing customers.
In your own commentary the Capri was "sleek". This is an electric brick. It's not related to the Capri in any way. Ford, you have clearly lost the plot.
That is not a Capri. You could have easily made something to rival a Tesla model 3 with a coupé or a 4 door coupé. But no. You've just slapped an anonymous body on an SUV platform and hope your marketing team can work wonders.
all cars today suck, in 15 years you might just wanna walk instead or take the bus.
@theonlygoofygoober Or just go to America, buy a Pontiac or a Chevrolet and ship it back to the UK.
As usual with any car company make something for the family how about putting some time and energy into designing something that doesn't look like a knock off Lamborghini urai
are fords design team alright these days????
Apparently not. 😢
Its built on a Volkswagen base
@@AltimaNEO copy - paste of a Polestar 2 somehow even worse looking
I'm sure the designers are depressed. Impossible to put your heart into a design that you forced to produce by managers and governments that have no passion for cars.
and the management team that signed that brick off
Legends never die? Just killed it 👏
3 Legends That Haven't Died Yet:
1. Caterham Seven
2. Volkswagen Golf
3. Mazda MX-5
Sorry Ford that is not a Capri it's Crapi. It's a VW ID with a different body and name.
Seriously.
That is not a Capri.
It's an SUV.
Not even a good looking one.
it's not suv either it's a shity EV cross junk
Did ford forget what a Capri looked like?
Now it looks like Capri went American, ate too many hamburgers and sugar, evolved into Caprigong, the destroyer
The tag line should be " We've all gotten slower and fatter since the 80's"
Don't forget the and dumber part, because clearly Ford has completely lost their mind.
More ugly, too
Absolutely not a Caori. Ugly, huge, boxy, boring, anonymous. On an SUV platform. Does not look like a Ford. Faceless, soulless and could be by any Manufacturer! No Character!
Where are the Ford Cars? Far too many SUV's each completely interchangeable with the other despite the nameplate.
Fiesta mark 8 still the best seller and now already poleaxed!
This is one car I won't be promising myself!
This is the end of Ford unless radical changes are made. Like an actual Ford Capri coupe that can perform!
Thankfully, the Mustang has been retained and the Focus is still being made for another year, so you won't need to worry.
Ford.. have you lost your mind?
Has the whole automotive industry lost its mind?!
Jusrt another SUV? GIVE US CARS BACK!!!!
There's only ONE proper car in the Ford range now: The Mustang Dark Horse.
If you took away the Ford badge and the word Capri, you'd be non-the-wiser of any relationship between the two vehicles. Not convinced. The Capri was such an iconic vehicle, surely more could have been done to encapsulate that?!?
There are only a few resemblances to the original, but they're too small for die-hard Capri owners and fans to recognise! WHAT'S THE POINT, FORD?!
You can change the car, but not the customers.
Jesus that looks disgusting, absolutely awful. Whoever designed this should be fired immediately.
In the Ford promo video he boasts: “we nailed it!”
Just fired? 😂
Ford really, really need a new team of designers.
I could design it better and I can't draw.
This is hugely disappointing, just as the mach e was. Calling this a capri and the mach-e a mustang is just nonsense. Not to mention its built on a VW ID4 platform, which was way behind competition when it came out, yet alone today. 150kw charging speed cap is considered sluggish these days.
And than ford's surprised people are buying Kia and Hyundai, whose cars not just look awesome, but also way better tech wise.
someone was actually paid to design this...
Could’ve made an actual Capri for the modern day, instead you chose to be a sheep in the industry
Month ago saved mk1 from scrapyard. It was good choice i think 😂
Capri? You're having a laugh
At least they could have made it vaguely resemble a Capri.
This looks like a Korean SUV.
Sorry but no. Both Korean SUVs the ioniq 5 and the ev6 looks way better than this. While also being built on a way better platform than this...
@edwardkrecsik665 I'd rather have a Fiat Panda, thanks very much.
@@edwardkrecsik665 Agreed.
My point was that this Capri looks disappointing. Korean SUV most likely are better
@CadanHartleyElliott South Korea is the new Germany when ot comes to tech and cars, people are just sleeping on it.
The east is overtaking the west rapidly in every aspect, mainly thanks to the limited greed and corruption when it comes to capitalistic practices.
I wouldn't sit in a Fiat and feel safe, but, you do you.
Most of the time when Ford brings back an old name, the new version has nothing in common with the old version. Not the first time Ford has done this.
I can't express how disappointed I am. You didn't stop at reusing a completely unrelated name on a goddamn electric 5-door SUV based on the VW ID.5, but you also actively keep on trying to SOMEHOW connect it to a sleek, 2-door coupe and pushing the narrative, that "original Capri drivers" would want something like this.
Tarnishing your own legacy and ignoring loyal customers and fans is never a good idea. Same goes for the concept of an "electric SUV".
Two words: Volkswagen Golf.
This is a disgrace. My first 2 cars were capris and I've owned a 2013 mustang GT since new. I'll never buy another Ford. I knew when the s550 came out it mark d the beginning of the end. Whoever approved this must be fired.
Fed up of every car being an SUV.
This isn't a Capri. Just like the Mustang Mach e.
Looks like a polestar 2.
This one won't be an icon of its era that's for sure! What a load of old cobblers!
The only TRUE icon of its era now is the Mazda MX-5.
That is the antithesis of a Capri.
Absolutely hideous. Not a Capri, and barely even a Ford.
VW in a tent style dress to be precise
@@ReapermanUKA Volkswagen that looks like a Polestar!
This is not a Capri! I had in my life as driver 4 Capris! one Mk I, two Mk II and one Mk III. I know from what I talk. A real Capri only may have 2 doors and ab big taildoor. The face should be designed like the old Capris. This new "Capri" is too anounymous .
I love my Fords, and that’s not a Capri. My parents had a Capri S, and it annoys me that the iconic name is being used on an EV. Shame that EVs are still being pushed on us.
Just buy a Mustang if it's bothering you that much. It's that simple.
Mustang ist too expensive here in europe @@CadanHartleyElliott
@@sunset-life Maybe a Mazda MX-5 will do instead.
Worked on passenger ferries early 90's, one of the boys on the Welsh side had a 2.9i Ghia. Jesus Christ. 🤗
That is a disgrace to call that thing a Capri!! Its never going to be a legend like the original, and why do we need more SUV'S??? WE DONT! we need the Mondeo back!
it is not a Capri
That's a ford shitbox, not a Capri. The whole design team need to be fired... Along with the boss that actually approved it, then the teams that actually followed this through to production.. it's an eyesore 🤮
Not a Capri
A Polestar lookalike is what it is.
I'm so fed up Ford have turned all its new cars into SUVs. Have had to lose my precious Fiesta to these monsters
When the news came through that ford were re-launching the Capri, I ran to my computer in a state of giddy excitement. When I saw it I dropped to my knees and sobbed.
What the flip have you done to an Icon… looks more like a polestar! Than its predecessor
That's not a Capri, that's just disgusting.
Two words: Mazda MX-5.
What an absolute disgrace, been praying for a modern capri for years, now I'm wondering if God does refunds
SACK YOUR DESIGN TEAM AND START AGAIN…… Thats all im gonna say…..
You're not even trying anymore, its on the MEB platform AGAIN as well; souless, boring, heavy rubbish.
Have you ever heard of something called a Mazda MX-5? That's never been boring or turned into a hideous, uninspiring lump of (word censored by me).
Im sorry I love Ford but yous missed the mark here big time. The Capri was a sleek rwd drive sports coupe a magnificent car this is an insult to that car.
Nice Polestar 2 you have there Ford! Great job on design plagiarism, first class!
They took a sleek sports car and they turned it into a Polestar, really Ford are you really this devoid of any inspiration???
This could've been an Explorer Sport or something, Capri doesn't fit with this body type
Wow just read some of the other posts on here after I posted mine😂😂 consensus is it's NOT a Capri and Ford should have called it something else big own goal from Ford in trying to capture the status of an old model with one that looks nothing like it, come of Ford stop reusing past model names, Puma, Mustang, Mustang Mach e and give us a new classic instead of trying to reinvent old ones that had their time and place in Ford history
The Legends its back. No its NOT! 🥴
Why You are shitting on Your own Legend?!
In my opinion, bad looking cars are good for the environment,
Noone wants to be seen driving one of these, hence meaning they'd rather use public transportation or ride a bike.
Call that a Capri, would you?! It doesn't look like the original one, save for a few bits and bobs or so that were thrown in for good measure. I'd rather you followed Volkswagen's lead and kept iconic names where they should have been in the first place.
Nope, nothing like the individuality of the original Capri! Looks like any other car on the market
Just buy a Volkswagen Golf. At least THAT'S not gone.
Winter range ? more than mustang mach e ? ( mustrang: 200km)
The new ford CRAPri
More like Ford CaPolestar 2!
It was, it was, it was, it was..... And still was.... This is a SUV, just shares the name...
Are you aware of the fact that we have something called a Mazda MX-5?
It was so many things. But it was never "just another SUV".
so true
Its a Fusion - Mondeo mix up. Not a Capri. Not even close. Capri is a 3 door coupe only. This is nothing like it.
Two words: Lotus Emira.
I don't see any resemblance this has with a Fusion - Mondeo.
Really, Capri, im sorry Ford had the chance to make something iconic (like the new renault 5) to lure people in from Ice cars but completely dropped the ball and made something from the VW I.D parts bin that does not even have an the smallest whiff of Capri about it, so disapointing
The resemblances to the original are too small for starters. Why did Ford even bother doing this?!
Why is the new version then not sleek but bulky?
I bought one of the last of the line 1.6 Laser when i was 18. The car wasn't 3 years old when i got it.
Why the hell didn't you learn from the Mustang and do a Retro style body with modern running gear. Say a joint venture with Mazda for their RX-8 replacement.
Rear wheel drive too and a hybrid to keep Greta quiet ish.
I'd have been interested then.
But this nah! It's a pass. Judging by the comments, Ford you built a dud!
I hope Coupés trend will come back...
Check out the new Honda Prelude. It's admittedly electric, but it's still a coupe like the original was.
Why are there hardly no sporty EV compact sedans or any coupes at all? Could’ve used this name to introduce a small EV sedan or coupe resembling it. What an abomination.
This is like replacing Rambo with a ladyboy.
In what universe is this car inspired or like a Capri?
nice Polestar
Encore un SUV !!! 😢
I'd rather choose a Fiat Panda.
Just like the Mustang Mach e, using the name of a legend on unremarkable SUV
ID4 in fremder verpackung
genau!
Which is why I'm going the 80s way and buying a Capri 2.8 Injection when I pass my driving test. THAT'S a proper Capri!
Looks like a Volvo polestar 2
Killed the Capri, I would have purchased one if you had made it look like a Capri
😢The new one is no legend😢
'The legend is back' they claim as they unveil a car that is the polar opposite of what the real Capri was. This is an insult to the buying public. I certainly won't be putting my hand in my pocket.
Ok, so the design team and whoever ran this project should be fired. What a wasted opportunity. This is meant to be the reimagined Capri? Horrendous vanilla 21st century blandness.
What a cruel thing to do to a car. it's mournful looking face beating that of The Ford Scorpio of 1995 to 99? Where it sits their crying "I am sorry, I am not like my Dad of the Eighties!"
WTAF 😢
Ford really have lost the plot... 🤦🏻
Not a capri by any means. I think you guys are taking drugs
Except that such things are probably banned in car factories.
isn't Ford Capri. it's Ford capribara.
yeah nah
They know that the car they made is bad , that’s why so many clips of the old capri are present
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ford sales development and every other department i know you thought ‘we’ll have an instant market cos people who had capris would love a new one’ however whatever you’ve created there is absolutely nothing like the Capri I had and I wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole
Your insane !
I'm sorry but this is dreadful.....cars no longer have character, everything is a tweaked copy of another brand now.....bring some originality back to the brand.
Go back to the 80s, where cars were much better than today, then.
No no no no no no no you can’t make a capri an suv. By all means make your car but please don’t insult the capri. Please please please don’t call it capri. I love my fords and Ford. But this is the first time it really disappointed me.
Well, there's always Vauxhall.
Name song?
Why bother?! We're already annoyed enough with the car as it is!
It's yet another SUV, you already have several, no-one will notice it, the original Capri was a Euro pony car. This could be a Kia.
GO TO AMERICA, BUY A PONTIAC AND SHIP IT BACK HERE, THEN!
@@CadanHartleyElliott Already done that, had a mk2 Trans Am, a Mk3 and GTO. But The Capri was an awesome muscle car, an electric muscle car would be epic but another SUV in a sea of EV SUVs isn't that exciting, I'm sure it'll be a nice car but it looks the same as the Mustang E
@@perge_music Maybe try the Mustang Dark Horse?
@@CadanHartleyElliott They're lovely, but they're ICE, I want an electric one.
@@perge_music How about a Volkswagen ID3?
nothing to do with the beautyful CAPRI.
BROTHER UUUUGHHHH
Legends never die they are brutally murdered
A tendency of our current times is to pick awesome stuff from the past and ruin it completely
Looks like a polestar 2 with different headlights
Designers be like: this is a banger, we fixed another model like we did with puma and mustang!
Magari non ne vendi 1!!!
What a huge disappointment. It looks very very much like a Polestar copy with a Capri badge on it.😢
Yes it was an icon. Now it's another generic SUV.
Yeahhhh. I totally see it
Capri....SUV.?.....this is not a Capri. The grill, the headlights, two door, long tail gate, look of authority.....it hasn't any of it.
Is that a Polestar 3?
You can’t put the legendary old capri and the new forgettable capri in the same video😂😂😂😂
You managed to nail the nostaliga factor in this ad. Did the original Capri justice in how cool it was. But that's in painful contrast to the new one which exhibits absolutely ZERO qualities of the original.
By contrasting the two this ad makes the new Capri appear even less cool than it otherwise would. You've lost the plot Ford.
You're a bit late for April's Fools...
how dare you
