Ashboy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Looks like Ford might be bringing back the Capri! (But it'll be based on the focus floorplan and so be front wheel drive). D.oh http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoe ... capri.html Enjoy.
mk3cokebottle Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 that looks the bollox wonder how long it will be before someone converts one ta rwd
Retromotorsport Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Looks just like a Volvo .... But if someone buys one i'll RWD it for them
trissybabes Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 That's just a Mondeo face grafted onto the Visos! Bloody minging imho... This has been regurgitated for many years now. I hope they do bring it back in some manner but Ford's been in such financial dire straits lately that I can't really see them ploughing a lot of money into another niche vehicle. Saying that, the Puma was a success and the new Kuga looks great, so you never know...
Mr.Sumo Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Now that i like ....but , it does look strikingly similar to the Volvo r30
MadMark2 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Its a mazda RX8 with the rear doors welded up......... !! No seriously it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Copey Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 i like it, but not as a new capri, too hatch-back and not RWD, ford can shove that up ther arse
jamesg Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 not sure what to think of that, they do need to bring out a new one after all the new US motors hitting the roads
TwoLitrePinto Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 its not and never will be a capri, i was hoping they would make a new capri, but theyve just wasted it when i say "new capri" i would like to see them exactly the same but just new! how can anyone have the cheek to call it a capri when its fwd, rwd is what made half of the people love it
bigglesmk2 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Not really a capri tho is it Just a new car with an old name,looks more like the new Astra VXR
capriaddict Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Now i like this version as it still has some of the side styling of the capri, IMHO if ford had kept it going like the escort this is probably what it would of looked like by now anyway. Yes i agree its not like the classic RWD version we're all used to BUT it is a modern evolution of the capri. Personally i would like the 4WD RS version
stephens_xpack Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Not a Capri as such...but not a bad looking new motor. Just got the same name really.
Nettles Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 I like it but I don’t think it’s worthy of carrying the Capri name
antz Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 I like it but I don’t think it’s worthy of carrying the Capri name seconded
Rick Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 oldskool cars are long gone.... even if id did look like a capri do you think it would be built, handle or be as fun as the real deal?
tazrocks88 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 oldskool cars are long gone.... even if id did look like a capri do you think it would be built, handle or be as fun as the real deal? only if it was american cos they dont understand the word evolution for example "leaf springs"
