Take a Fiesta, inflate it - now you have a Ford Coupe.

Gotta love autoexpress and their crappy photo-chops

Now if they nicked the AWD drivetrain from its Volvo sister concept car: ( http://www.volvocars.com/uk/top/abou...aspx?itemid=41 ) then we'd have a winner.

But knowing Ford, they'll once again cheap out and make it wrong wheel drive.

I wonder what ever happened to the plans for a new Capri? I remember hearing rumours of downloadable ecu settings which you could do yourself and all sorts.

A modern Capri would really wet my taste buds

It would be over styled, overweight, and FWD.

Unlike the original, which was simply styled, lightweight, and RWD.

Volvo was sold sometime ago to a Chinese Company.

Autoexpress predict a new Capri every 9 months or so and have done since 2003.
