Ford Social: bring back the capri similar to the 1973

bring back the capri similar to the 1973 - 1978 design

Bring back a fun car to drive car similar to the ford capri of 1973 - 1978, rear wheel drive, great suspension and handling, great on gas, just a real fun car, modernize with a new echo boost V6 but keep the rally roots of the early years and you would put the fun back in driving

Andrew S Um, the 73 Capri had none of these things. Also, why not just call it something new and not something from when Saturday Night Fever was important in popular culture?

Ben G I agree with Stephen B. Use an EcoBoost 1.6L for equal performance as the FRS/BRZ. Use an EcoBoost 2.0L and it'll be an FRS/BRZ slayer.

Chance F Try a Fusion sport AWD, 252HP, and pretty much what you're asking for.

Dennis B How about a Fusion 2-dr. (think NASCAR), AWD, 3.5L Ecoboost for us geriatrics who don't 'fit' in a Mustang any more and couldn't afford one when we could fit.

Stephen B I agree! However, stick with a 4-banger and compete with the Scion/Subaru that just came out. Affordable, sporty AND economical cars are few and far between. I'd also like to see some competition for the Miata.
