Hot News: The Reborn of Ford Capri

It's the car every Ford fan has been waiting to see! Here’s the new Capri.

The original was one of the most famous and best loved models in the firm’s history, and left the scene in the late Eighties. Now, the time has come to reinvent the classic.

Affordable coupés are experiencing a real renaissance, and Ford has already proved its talent for building niche products with models such as the S-MAX compact MPV and Kuga 4x4. So the stage is set for the Capri to make its stunning comeback.

One thing is for sure – it will not be short of competition. Audi has its A5 and Volkswagen has resurrected the Scirocco, while Toyota is planning a Celica replacement based on Subaru Impreza running gear.

The resurrection of the Capri name is a good idea -- Taurus was not.

Who cares what it looks like -- they are all starting to look the same anyway. Automotive styling is all headed in the same direction.

It's only a rebirth in name only as a front driver. Too bad no RWD.

It actually looks pretty good...I wish the American car makers will stop bringing back the old car names.

This name was made famous in europe. The american capri was totally different, every iteration.
