I know, funny, AutoExpress are really trying to push Ford to do another Capri.

That photo is the GenIII Focus 3-door due in 2010.

Ford know that to re-introduce Capri it has to have the main Capri signature styling cues:
Long Bonnet/Short Tail
D-Shaped rear side 1/4 windows
Bonnet Power Bulge

Also, to be accepted it needs to be rear-wheel drive, a platform that Ford Europe unfortunatley do not have.

I don't think many people will go for a FWD Capri.
I know the Scirocco is FWD but it always was which is why Capri always outsold it 10-1.

You could argue the case for them to use the Mazda RX-8 platform but as they've sold their share off in Mazda, I can't see that happening either.

It costs about $2billion to develop a platform from scratch, I can't see FOE spending that on a niche volume car.
