Here we go again... Capri EV

[hprose]

First the mustang, now the Capri, taking a beloved coupe and slapping the name on an electric crossover. I don't see this thing going over very well.

The need to use a random name generator like they do for drugs. How about Xenoquar. I would prefer horse names: Quarterhorse, Morgan Thoroughbred or Trakehner

I hope it is a good car.

I am still surprised how hinky people are about car names...

Watching Electrifying's first look on this thing and it looks BIG. I thought it was closer to the P2 but it's quite a bit bigger.

Which is ironic given that Polestar is owned by Geely. Lol. They also swiped the DRLs from Porsche.

The camo’d spy shots hinted at some P2 design cues from the side in the blacked out A-pillar, window line and the squared off rear haunches so I expected as much, but as someone who has both a P2 and a Mach-E in the garage I’m not sure I’m liking what I’m seeing here. That color ain’t doing this car any favors either.

It is pretty crazy how similar this thing looks from the side. I would have guessed a modded P2 if someone asked me what this car is:

It has already succeeded as evidence in this thread to get people talking. Just like the Mustang Mach-E did.

As they say "there is no such thing as bad publicity"

I had a couple of Capri’s in the 1970’s. The 3ltr Mk1 was especially fast & had good road handling. I followed this with replacement 2.8ltr version but didn’t handle as well & very easy to lose the back end. They were good cars.

I’m more confused people are anti the yellow.

99% of cars on the road are black, white, or silver. Let’s get some color back out there.

Along with the Vega ?

This!
Very popular in 70’s bracket racing.

I like that yellow on it. Too many grey colors on cars these days. ?‍?

I personally think this is a potential winner for Ford and just do not understand people tearing their hair out about Ford reusing vehicle names that they own. I look forward to the Ranchero EV sedan.

Wasn't the original Capri really a prettied-up Ford Cortina?

That's the steering wheel the Mach-e should have. Give me a flatter bottom.

Never been a fan of non-round steering wheels on anything with slower than 8:1 steering. Function suffers on slower steering. ??

I don't get that either. I haven't heard much uproar from the maverick truck owners as the name was resurrected from a very forgettable car in the 70s.

yeah I don't seem to recall the original capri being all that special much less iconic.

Maybe it’s just the color, but I’m just not digging the looks of this thing.
