i woulnt say terrible...... but just bland!
unless the price utterly tanks 2nd hand, if i was looking for a car in that class i would not go for that. and if i wanted one on that platform then i would much rather have a Cupra Tavascan which i think is on the same platform and looks far more interesting

Dennis Waterman must be rolling in his grave!
It's almost unfathomable that someone actually looked at that thing and thought 'yeah that's the car of the future' and approved it. It's almost as bad as the Pontiac Aztek.

I’m not a ‘car’ person by any stretch of the imagination but I bloody well know what a capri looks like. And it ain’t this thing.
That’s akin to someone passing round a photo of their nan and trying to tell people it’s replica of the Mona Lisa.

That is gorgeous. Is that going into production?
It's not a bad looking car at all, nothing like an Aztek. If Ford named it something different this thread probably wouldn't exist.
But they did, so here we are. Not a bad looking car.
As above, not even remotely the right car for the name 
Had they release some proper coupe type affair then aye, but an almost SUV?
The brand damage has occurred before the release lol

They already have the Puma, the Kuga, the Explorer and the Mach E, why do they even need another car of similar dimensions and style?As above, not even remotely the right car for the name

Not even taking into account the ruined branding (along with the Puma and Mustang).
And that's not even including the ones they don't sell in the UK, like the Bronco.
we probably need to remind ourselves that only car enthusiasts care about this sort of thing and let’s me honest, they were never going to buy this car.
Go and speak to your average Puma buyer and ask them if they care if it’s ’not a real Puma’…. they don’t.

Jaguar mark ii's looked like their namesake/feline ... jaguar apogee ? maybe you could re-incarnate that as an ev
can you build panels with such curves economically now, round headlights, too, there is a novelty.
e: hadn't remembered that Callum already did a Mk2 Mk2 https://youtu.be/MD5SlobdU0k?t=232
Genuine ford capri promo was too embarrassed to put a real capri in the scene.

man that looks sweet. for years as a teenager i dreamed of getting a carlos saintz celica GT4 - the one with pop up lights.
then i went for a test drive in one years later looking to go 2nd hand and................................ boy that car was for little people, i was pinned to the ceiling of the car , it was so bad i could not even take for the test drive.
that looks superb however, could just as easily be sold as a supra mind you, (also a great toyota car from back in the day).
i am p..... off with toyota however there is no denying they do make fantastic looking cars.

Haha I'd forgotten about that mustang suv thing!
They also did a performance edition of the GR Corolla which is quite nice looking though I don't believe it will be available in the UK, though not quite as nice as the Celica.
