Love the front and the side, hate the rear of it!
In my opinion it looks as though the Mondeo and Honda Civic had a weird love child.

Feel the same - the front looks pretty good, tones of Mondeo about it for sure, but the rear just seems to be a bit too weird for my taste.

Don't mind it, but it's more a Focus Coupe than Capri.

It must be said though, that looks aside, they didn't have much going for them

The original Capri was the dumbed down European equivalent to the likes of the Mustang, with the Mustang now released over here i don't see why Ford would re-do the Capri.
Unless of course they just want to draw money from the Capri brand ala VW Scirocco

Awful.
Modern car designers need to have a word with themselves.

They should have gone for retro styling and based in on the old one I think.
I just can't see any reason why someone would buy this over a Fiesta or Focus ST? It certainly doesn't look nearly as nice as either of them and performance is around the same. It's not even RWD, so you can't re-live the days of spinning 180 upsidedown in to a ditch in the rain, like the old days.

i used to like the later Granada 2.8 Injection in Black, that looked so cool....the Granada was ok around a corner, but slower due to its far bigger size.....it was a HULK of a car 
the only Capri that looked really good was the earlier 3000E, the bronze version with the black vinyl roof...yes they rusted like crazy, just like the Cortinas, i had 6 of them, great memories
i'm not sure about these new concept designs, they're all squat, rounded and too short.........the 2017 Civic Type R looks similar too

It's a render done by someone else other than Ford. I can't believe people still think this is a real car.
you cant stretch that new Capri or it'll look like a Mustang, in fact; it looks like a Mustang that's been rear-ended by a London Bus already
all i know is, because of the success of the Mustang/ Focus RS/Dodge Challenger etc, that Ford are planning more Muscle cars, so this Capri could be true, but lets hope it doesn't look like this

Exactly, probably one of Auto Express's done years ago, or maybe not http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/32795/ford-capri-coming-last
