Boo, I love Capris, but that’s not a real Capri. Fox ones are awesome, I’ve had 3 RS cars but for some dumb reason I never kept one. I actually like the old Ford Capris a lot as well.

And most Ford fans from Europe would say that the Fox Capris aren't real Capris either. :-)

Reminds me of the Merc LN7 or Ford EXP's that we had here in the early 80's. Light and fun but anemic acceleration.

Years ago I read a review of this and it was mostly a list of its failings compared to the Miata.
