RE: New Capri For 2012
Discussion
That's a pretty decent effort. Just needs the front elongated slightly and dropped a touch. 
That orange thing looks like the b
d child of an ST and the current Civic.
I'm afraid Vlad's post will be dead on the money, but please prove me wrong Ford. The fact it's going to have the 5 cylinder mill probably nails the coffin of RWD firmly shut, but perhaps there's a rear drive Ozzie thing with a blue badge on somewhere? Falcon maybe, although it has too many doors.

Can we also have a return to the Opel Manta? Why not go the whole hog and launch some "Professionals" special editions? However imho, bringing back a great icon from the halcyon days of the 1970s rarely translates into anything other than a bland pastiche today. Ford were wise never to have used the Capri name for the Probe or the Cougar and I hope they will continue this trend on any future "cooop" of this type that they bring out. The Capri was a god - a great-on-straights-crud-on-bends god I grant you - but a god nonetheless. I would rather they left it in the past than bring out something that is not fit to lace its sloping boot.
How much would it cost to move the steering wheel in the Mustang and put the 3.0 V6 Mondeo/XF engine in and maybe a proper back axle? They could even use the TDV6 and TDV8 Jaguar/Land Rover diesels. All nicely Euro compliant and developed. And get Mike Cross to make it ride and handle before he moves to Bombay!
scooby wrx i like your idea but for starters think of the cost of running a car with an engine like that bad boy and its ford.
In fact all i needed to say is that its a ford. An its just another attempt to try and take over the car market in that category and try to make some money for a company thats losing profits fast.

Hmm, the Roush Mustang handles rather well, thank you very much and let's be fair, it's not like the Capri ever did. The 2014 Mustang will have an IRS though but the fact remains that a Mustang will never be the basis for a Scirocco competitor in the UK and certainly not with the way the VEL is going. Ford want sales in the fwd coupe sector.No, I agree it's far better to leave it in the past with the Cortina badge because Capri will mean sod all to the modern yoof. I know it's hard to think of a name but that's no excuse to b
dise a legendary nameplate for something as weak as a fwd coupe. Perhaps a simple RS100/200/300 plate would suffice or maybe the Ford Bandwagon.900T-R said:

I had a Matchbox capri just like that when I was five... didn't try to make it a convertible though.
Ford, don't even bother unless its RWDGassing Station | Motoring News | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
