It's got nothing that made the Capri special, looks plain and like a stretched Fiesta IMO Focus Coupe yes, Capri no, couldn't be arsed to actually read the article

That really is awful, I'm sure it didn't look like that last yr when it was in AutoExpress. Fingers crossed it gets changed again to something better looking, it needs to.

Its no different than VW bringing back the Scirocco IMO and im waiting to see true pics not a render to make my final judgement on it.

Focus 3 has a fine chassis and i am sure ford will make this new Capri handle quite well.

"The Capri is back – as a hatch! These are the best pictures yet of the compact family car that looks set to be the must-have model of 2010 – it’s a new three- door version of the Ford Focus."

so its not a Capri at all?

Bit like the new scirocco, a car that looks nothing like the original with no new breakthrough styling (as the originals did at the time) and is just another faceless car on todays roads
