Cret Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ford in non-ugly modern car shocker! It's not bad really although certainly no stunner. That said, it sounds like it'll be a lot closer to the mark than the illfated Probe which was meant to be "the new Capri". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 so its a capri but not rear wheel drive, thats really crap. tell you what why don't VW make a new Beetle with the engine in the front and front wheel drive, or Fiat could make a new 500 and do the same to that, what's the point?

Cret Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The point is that by giving it the same name they're hoping loads of people will go "Splendid - I can buy a capri and it'll be a spangly new car instead of a crusting old dog - sounds ideal for my next company car eh Giles?"

Apply the same thinking to houses, the aspirational middle classes love to live in Tudor/Elizabethan/Gothic style homes But if those homes were built with an oak frame and brick infill with a thatched roof they would be cold, damp, expensive and would not pass building regs So they buy a modern house that looks a bit like a historic one My advice if you really want the real (shite) driving experience of a Beetle, Fiat 500 or Capri, try Ebay There's dozens of them for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I still like this better, probably handles like a dog though.... 1973 Ford Capri RS2600 (2.6)V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I got given a free 1.6 Capri once and I can categorically say that it was without a shadow of a doubt the shittest car out of the 15 or so I've owned since I have been driving on the road. But it was still sort of cool though in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
