Absolutely no 
But it's a bland as wood chip wallpaper medium size SUV which is unfathomably really expensive, i'm sure it'll 'sell' (lease) like hotcakes and we'll soon see them on every street, defying all logic

I can honestly see Ford being non existent in the next 20-30 years. They got absolutely no clue what so ever as a car company anymore.
it’s a bizarre business strategy. Take a classic Ford sports/coupe name and attach it to a new SUV bearing no relation to the previous model?
Should have seen it coming when they started with the Cougar/Kuga thing.
Eurgh. What a terrible day to have eyes.
I think you might be guilty of projecting your own perception of what constitutes being a good car company here. They might not make cars you and I like, but brand new Fords in the segment (Kuga, new Puma, the Musang EV, etc) are still a common sight around my way. Anecdotal I know, but they aren't stupid, and are obviously making what the market demands; which is, unfortunately, odd hatchbacks on stilts.
It's it's like basically how many times can they release the same car.
The Skyrim of cars.

Is anything going to happen to VED (£40k threshold) for 2025 and EVs (well not EVs, cars in general I guess). It seems most new stuff nowadays is priced over this (or priced under but then you add on like one extra and it takes you over). Surely that £40k should be re-evaluated as it isn't fit for purpose?
EDIT: On topic - shouldn't have called it a Capri.

WTF is up with Ford taking classic car names and slapping them on run-of-the-mill, dull as hell SUVs?
First the Mustang Mach-E, then the Puma, now this.

How to ruin your heritage...
Don’t even joke about it.
Some things really should be left well alone.
Still, rather Netflix than Disney, just imagine a trans Dennis waterman

I bet the marketing people love this sort of thing
Lead : "Shall we reuse one of our old iconic names again or make up something from scratch like the mondeo?"
Intern : "If we use an old name a load of old men will wet the bed!, Sorry! didn't mean to say that out loud!"
Others : "Interesting, so your saying it will trigger conversation, loads of free advertising of memes etc and not affect the people who would actually buy it?"
Lead : "When you put it like that.."
Lead : "So we are all agreed then, reuse another name it is?"
