Yes, it's a Ford, believe they will make it when you've seen one in a showroom near you. Like the Focus Cosworth.............
Oh, and Auto Express? Ought to be remnamed, "Fordo Fordford". Crap.

Hmm, I quite like that and it would be nice to see the Capri name resurrected but it does look like a C30/Mazda with a Capri rear window, I was hoping for more of what Ford did with the new Mustang, RWD and an updated version of the original shape, Mk1 Capri styling as it was the purest of the three but a FWD design will never have the long bonnet that characterised the Capri so, though it may be a decent enough looking car there isnt enough Capri genetics to get me all excited.

Have they started printing Auto Express on soft, absorbent paper yet? Because I can't think of any reason to buy it until they do, these photoshopped artists' impressions of what cars might possibly look like don't fool anyone. Do they?
