There has been leg more and written about Ford’s Choice to Name the new, Electric Capri After a Sporty Coupe from its own stable. After all, it is Nothing More Than a Five-Door Hatchback. Just like the Sierra.
Nice, ISN it, that the Sierra and the Capri Are Standing Next to Each Other Again for A Moment? It is Exactly the Situation as in the Better-Sorted Ford Showrooms, and that from the Sierra Introduction in the Autumn of 1982 Until the Farewell of the Capri Two Years later. Yes, now everything is different, because the new capri has appeared as a five-through hatchback. Maybe we should just forget its name for a moment and take a look at the car itsself, which, as far as we are concerned, has just as many similarities with the ornamentalra. The Line That Runs Smoothly From The Roof to the Rear Certainly Evokes Memories of That Model. The Third Side Window is missing, but that cheeky chicken butt has simply leg tasks over! Just don’t be mistaken about the size: The Capri, at 4.63 meters, is Almost as Long as the scorpio. Remarkable, because it was that the car that was consulting truly giant in the 80s? Now Such a size is very common.
Also Rear-Wheel Drive
Another Similarity with the Sierra is that the Capri also has Standard Rear-Wheel Drive (with all-wheel drive as an option). It was precisely that layout that ford recurred fierce criticism for in 1982. After all, equally with cars of its size and stature, a transverse engine and front-wheel drive (like the opel ascona, which already had it a year earlier. After all, it was the only Route to More Interior Space and A Cheaper Way of Producing.
Its traditional design also stood in Sharp contrast to its then highly modern and therefore very daring body. That was a real gamble, with which the Sierra Made the Competition years older in one Fell swoop, but with which it it had to bend about backwards to win the favor of the predominantly conservative taunus clientele. Difficult, because the taunus was still immensely popular at the time of the Sierra Introduction; IT Even Occupied an Honorable Fifth Place in the Country’s Sales Rankings. In The End, Things Worked Out Well with the Sierra, which was Sold 149,000 Times in Our Country. This also Puts it in Fifth Place on the Ford List, After the Escort, Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo. All Lamently Disappeared Models and Names. Fortunately, there is a Capri Again.
