Hmm - the Ford Capri I remember was a 2-door coupe, trying to be Europe's version of the Mustang.
But then I guess Ford has relaunced the Mustang as a large SUV, so turning the Capri into what looks almost identical to a Polestar 2 from the side makes some sort of sense!
Either way, it's another BEV to choose from.

Does junk in the trunk affect handling?

Re: Ford "Capri" re-born
At 4,634 mm long, 2,063 mm wide, and 1,626 mm tall, the new Ford Capri EV is nothing like the original
![FacePalm :facepalm:](./images/smilies/Face-Palm.gif)
I reckon its bonnet height is more than the roof height of the original!

Re: Ford "Capri" re-born
It looks like the Capri is actually built using the VW MEB platform - it's essentially the same as the Skoda Enyaq/ VW iD4/ Audi Q4 etron. That explains the very high, blunt nose.
And it seems the other Ford EV with a name the same as an ICE muscle car - the Mustang - well that is under the skin a frankeinstein's monster of a platform mash up as it's based on the Ford Focus/Kuga platform with a bunch of batteries jammed into the voids. No wonder the cooling system on that is more complex than Spaghetti Junction!
