PLEASE stop this madness! 

I'd swap a couple of letters around and call it the Crapi

we DON'T need another CROSSOVER (edited almost 500 likes!!!? Thank you guys so much)

Revived as an SUV. The Capri gods are committing suicide right this moment.

A corporate meeting designed this car

Ford Capri as a "coupe-style" SUV. In other news, there's apparently a reboot of Schindler's List, but this time, it's a teen romantic comedy!

i just lost all respect for ford!!!

So they heard the backlash from the Mach-E, and they were like, "Yes, let's do it again."

Absolutely dull, monotonous and lifeless design, as I see it. And offensive for the people who know how the original Capri looked like.

Now that the Ford GT is out of production, I sure hope that Ford is busy reimagining the Ford Expedition as the next generation Ford GT. What a stroke of marketing genius that will be.

What a WEIRD decision for Ford to make… after nailing the Bronco decision, this makes no sense 🤦🏾‍♂️

I thought that it was based on the Polestar 2 and not the ID5. It’s amazing how generic it looks

The new EV is NOT a Capri....its an orthopaedic boot!

It's impressive that they managed to make a rebadged ID5 look like a rebadged Polestar 3.

Ford is slowly becoming the Disney of the car world

I remember when Mitsubishi made the Eclipse an SUV. I was dumbfounded. Then they discontinued the Evo. Just Ls all around for them.

I try hard...but i cannot see any Ford Capri in this.

I’ve never seen or even heard of the capri. Just seeing them for the first time. No offense, the old one looks 5 billion times better. New one looks like a cute toy.

They did a Ford Puma move on this legendary car. How sad.

The Brits are now going through what the Americans had to with the Mach E Beloved sports car turned crap SUV nobody asked for in a market already saturated with them

One of the very few manufacturers who brings back old models from the past, keeping their original vibe, is FIAT. 500, 500e, Grande Panda, 124 Spider, ... Greetings from a 124 Spider driver 😎✌🏽

I saw it and thought "what Chinese car is coming to the US now"

Hideous. They should have called it the Mondeo.

Ford's marketing department is something else, who is this brand meant to appeal to? The name Capri isn't going to appeal to those looking for an SUV/Crossover so why use it!? It's just another appliance on wheels, utterly forgettable. If it didn't have the manufacturer logo and I saw it for the first time, I would have immediately assumed it was another Chinese EV company stealing design elements from Volvo and Honda, the rear reminds of Nissan Z. I wonder what will happen to the Ford GT, will they bring an SUV to Le Mans within the next 10 years!? 🤔🤔🤣🤣

Dead on arrival 😂😂

Im so sick of every dam thing being a crossover or an suv. Especially when bringing back a classic name. And an EV 🤢🤮 to boot!

"I'll leave ford as expected, found on the road DEAD." An Epic rap battle of histrory line

0:35 it’s like he’s ranting to the cat 😂

My neighbour had a MK3 Capri 2.8 Injection when I was growing up, and that car was absolutely sick. It was black, red stripe down the side, and the classic almost "phone dial-esque" wheels with all of the round holes in the middle. I loved that car so much. The noise it made, the way it shook the ground when it went past, the smell, the way it looked. THAT was a Capri, and it's sl=till one of my favourite cars to this day. This isn't a Capri. This is downright awful. Ford having an 'inoffensive' car with that name has just so happened to offend everyone, even my mother, and she's not a car person.

It reminds me of the mustang mach e. The car has the name of a sports car with design elements but it's in the form of a crossover SUV lol

What is the marketing/business reason for naming cars like this? The capri was a rally/muscle car which had a clear market for driving enthusiasts. A crossover CLEARLY IS NOT made for rally and for driving enthusiasts.

I'm not defending this by any means but unlike Mitsubishi with the Eclipse Cross, Ford at least tried implementing design cues from the original Capri like the rear quarter windows and the front end is a modern take on the design only taller. But regardless of what they try to do, it's still a slap in the face to the original Ford Capri.

What is it with carmakers reviving nameplates of legendary cars and turning them into generic, inoffensive carmobiles? First the Mitsubishi eclipse, then the Chevy Blazer, and now this.

You should make it a 2 door coupe to see what a GR86 competitor from ford would be like

I think they made a mistake here , it’s supposed to be a Ford Caprison not a Capri. 😂

Their first strike was with the Mach E, them the second was the Puma, now they done with the Capri?

In evolutionary theory, there is a question why so many animals end up looking like crabs. Well, a lot of cars end up crossovers.

How did they make the mustang GTD and then make this afterwards

If they would have squished it to the size of the original capri, flipped the front bumper horizontaly and lowered the section with the lights front and back it would look like a modern capri

Why every companies wanted to risen a legendary nameplate to a freaking crossover. We don't want another crossover goddamnit.

I don’t think western car companies are winning against the Chinese car market. And it looks like all they have is heritage and nostalgia towards legendary cars from back in the day, trying to evoke a feeling rather than making great cars.

To be frank, it’s a good looking car. The problem is that it’s called the Capri. It’s like if Chevrolet decided to make a Corvette SUV… …wait a minute.

The problem is not bringing back and giving a "modernized" look. The problema is making it another boring crossover that don't even fill the same niche.

Doesn't look as my 18 yo remembrance of almost buying a 3 Liter black Ford Capri from a friend. This electric name sharer makes me cry.

What's worse to me is that the design is clearly inspired by the older Capri and, if they made it into a coupe, it could've worked really well. Wasted opportunity by Ford

No matter the name plate on the car, the design trend, where every crease or curves are smoothened so that every other car looks like each other, makes it that we have something bland, soulless. Car design is indeed dead.

Issues with interior: headup display taken straight from VW and just put plastic around it… Haptic touch ‘buttons’ on steering wheel and centre console… Ford took soooo long to release an EV and have used parts from VW yet didn’t listen to ANY feedback VW got on these interior issues and straight up made the same mistakes in both their Explorer ev and Capri ev. Like WTF 😂

I'm a driving instructor and thought about getting a crossover for my students to learn in as this is the style of most cars being sold nowadays... ... I'm so fucking glad I went for a VW Scirocco instead 😂 my students love driving it, I love driving it - I couldn't imagine anyone being inspired whilst driving this generic iPad of a car.

It's because there is a law that states that if you don't use a name in X years it becomes public domain so they just slap old names on generic SUVs just to not lose it

The Taycan and the Polestar 2 got together and this is their bastardized child 😅

The whole car industry has gone to hell

On paper, you’re talking sense, but the reality is coupés don’t sell anymore.

They should call a version of the mustang ecobost with a different face-lift a capri, instead of just descontinuing the mustsng ecobost in europe at all

This shape/side profile actually reminds me of the Ford Escort (UK version) from the 1980s. I think Ford should have called this the "Escort" rather than the Capri.

Dodge Challenger was a perfect modern interpretation with certain mustangs. Hopefully the Hyundai comes to market.

we have already so many crossovers! enough !!!!

Many manufacturers does this nowdays, make a generic and boring SUV and give it the same name as a beautiful classic.

It's the love child of a BMW X2 and Polestar 2. Should have called it the 2X2

The same happend to the beetle, the New beetle was basicly a golf with a beetle looking alike body

They could've call it the Escort... no one would've care.... but the Capri, that IS going to make people talk!!!! (in a very bad way)

I think the designers tried their best within the boundaries they were given... And I'm sure they didn't want to make this abomination

“It’s not offensive” to most yes. To the purists/enthusiast it’s extremely offensive. To me it’s boring and I’m an enthusiast, so it’s doubly offensive, the worst car design in my opinion is boring car design. At least we remember the Multipla, the Juke or rodius.

If this actually sells I will be surprised

People were mad indeed. Even Ford dealers were pissed off.

The shape is like that of a brick that's been rounded by the waves of the ocean for 50 years

I can't wait for the Ford GT40 4 door crossover with a rwd or awd option for around US$70k.

Should have called it the Ford E-scape

The two side-by-side is hilarous 😂

The new one looks like its been eating just fast food instead of gas

AI rendered designs are nicer than manufacturer designs these days.

Ford: "You want a new almost-affordable high revving coupe for you to send it? No, here's a generic crossover."

The original Capri was sleek and affordable. The new whatever that is...a loaf of bread.

Every crossover belongs into LANDFILL! Give back my coupes and sedans. NOW!

Your reaction when you first saw the car 😂. I knew it was gonna be an SUV instead of a 2 door coupe 🙄.

Even your cat looked annoyed with Ford.

How is this a surprise!?!?! Did we forget about that mustang abomination THAT FAST??????

What's the point of every car being a crossover? What incentive would it give me to choose any one over the other? I'll stick to my 34 year old Civic.

There’s zero chance that Bodie & Doyle would have driven that thing.

Ford has zero design consistency in their line up now. Why are manufacturers doing this?

I’d honestly prefer if it was just a re-badges dark horse mustang with old capri colors

The Capri should have come back as a Miata & GR86 competitor underneath the Mustang. Such a shame. They insult us with all these faceless crossovers they have to kick us while we're down with reviving old legendary nameplates After the high of the Bronco release that they freaking knocked out of the park. Someone should be fired for this

Hey, at least the new Puma looks better than the original.

Car design is like A&R radio.

We went through a platinum age of design back in the 2000's where muscle-cars incorporated classic forms with modern design characteristics. The Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro just to name the three best examples. Now designers are making everything look generic again, this thing looks like it was built and designed by Chinese car manufacturer; BYD, not an American/European company. These modern designs seldom have ANY relation with what they were based on.

Hey look! a potato!

Another mid-size crossover? Groundbreaking.

Absolutely agree, sick of bloated cross-over

Ford GT40 SUV next so I can bring my kids to soccer and visit my wife's boyfriend like it's 1966 🤪😍

shoulda been called the Ford Futile.

I am inappropriately mad right now.

They could have named it the new Edsel.

I guess everything in the future will be a four door electric SUV?

The next GT40 will be a minivan, mark my word.

I love that in the video they show pictures of the original capri and it looks nothing like the new capri.

I love how they try to convince us that they've taken inspiration from the original Capri, yet they look absolutely nothing alike, both interior and exterior

I agree completely! It's just another generic SUV/crossover. When every new model is just boring, doesn't have any connection to the brand in design, even annoys people with the model name - why would anybody buy this, when you can buy any other generic SUV from any brand? Then you might as well buy chinese cars with ridiculous names, like "XPeng". In Europe, Ford's strongest models in numbers were the Fiesta as small compact, Focus and Mondeo, whicht is the Fusion in the US, afaik. They've stopped production of all of these models now, which were they best horses in the stable. They do sell the Mustang officially in Europe, which wasn't always the case. That's the only model they have, when customers neither want to buy a SUV or crossover, or an electric car. Plus, they close whole production plants in Europe regionally, and people notice this. I'd say, that Ford in Europe is officially f...d big time! News say, they want to stick to combustion engines a little longer than expected. We'll see what will happen! Many car manufacturers not only have a problem with bland, generics designs. They also fall, because e-mobility in general isn't as successful, as they thought it was. Turns out, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai were right with their approach, producing what the market wants - not what governments, politics and eco-activists want. Living costs are getting higher and higher, and they think, these really not cheap cars will sell like sliced bread. It's crazy!

I still can't get over what they did with the puma 😢

Man my dad had the ford Capri rs, and my dream was to get one. Then I heard the ford capri was coming out.....and hell no am I buying this crap

It's not reviving, it's chopping the old body and re-construct Frankenstein.

my dream that someone brings back the flashy designs of the 50's and 60's are just about smashed

You nailed the part where it's a Chinese off-brand car with a different nameplate. It's what it is.
