    For me the Capri is a 2 door sporty model. the same as the original Mustang, not a 4 door. Ford lost their way after they stopped the Cortina in the UK. And with them being electric would I buy one - no way

      Hi, thanks for commenting. I’ve been dealing with comments regarding EV cars for months on our business social media accounts and with references to old Capri and petrol Mustang cars, too. Sadly, government regulations and policies don’t make life easier for car manufacturers. The EV market is quite specific, and competition is hard, so the best way to market new electric cars is to introduce electric versions with reference to past models. Not every car will be loved, but at the same time, it doesn’t have to be. It will still find its loyal customer base. Cheers

    Definitly NOT. Shocking abuse of the Capri name and history.

      Thank you for your comment. It will be like that for some, and for others, it will be a new beginning. Thanks, Phil

    I like it, it’s not a capri but that’s something that does not bother me at all. Couldn’t care less about the name.

    They should have called it something else even Mondeo would have suited it better. Just another 40,000 car that most people can't afford. And Ford had 2 of them already............

      Thanks for commenting. I will touch upon that in one of the upcoming videos. I don't have any feelings towards the name, but from what I have read since it was announced, people have extreme opinions. Cheers 👋

    Tis just an Explorer with a revised front and rear and more expensive.. would have been fine under a different name, but a Capri it is and never will be.

      Thank you for commenting. You are right; they share loads of the same components, e.g., the interior, platform, and batteries. Personally, I think the Capri is a better-looking car. There is nothing wrong with the Explorer, but it is just a personal preference. Cheers 👋🏻

    I'd rather get the bus than be seen driving one of them.

      Hi, thanks for commenting. Electric cars are not for everyone, and not everyone will like them, just like some people love Citroën cars, which I am not the biggest fan of (just an example). Also, people have extreme opinions, which is fine; it's often funny to see how people get angry 🤣🤣. But rest assured, when you get off the bus, I will stop at the crossing to let you pass to the other side of the street 🙃🙃. Cheers 👋🏻

      Believe me, people get so angry and violent in their comments it is unbelievable. Not on this occasion, obviously; the comment was on the funny side 🤣. I understand that people still admire the old Capri and the name. In one of the following videos, I will give my take on why I think Ford went with this name. Thanks for commenting. Cheers 👋🏻

    Prefer the Ford Ranger on the right. Sorry, its a 'NOT'. Hate being forced into Electric and car makers doing the NET ZERO agents of control's biding

      I love the Ranger, exactly in that colour 🤩. Government and other organisations are not making life easy for the manufacturers, but this is a topic for another video. Thanks for commenting 👋🏻

      Thank you for your comment. It is down to personal preferences, and not everyone will like it. Thanks, Phil
