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

I don't think it would be that much of a niche volume car. Don't know how many capris were sold but in todays market you would have all the people that wanted the capri but were too young in the 70/80's to buy one and then everyone that had them at the time but they have now fallen to bits and the want a modern reliable version. Also it's a bit like the dodge challenger. I hated the origional but love the new one so would have a new market to sell to. Us young ones that were only babies in the 80's

Could they not use a ford usa chassis like the mustang (very bad chassis) and tweak it to suit the european market.

Not to mention that by the time the car is developed we will be out of this recession and people will have spare cash again

I'm not a capri fan but like the re-makes that are going round at the moment.
