These are pics of the next generation Mondeo due to be announced in a few months time based upon 'insider information and spy shots'. We all know that Auto Express can be a bit imaginative when it comes to their art work but I think in this case it could be quite close to what it will actually look like.

I like the look of that

[GingerTom]

Have you noticed how the fashion now is for the door mirrors to be placed on the doors instead of the front corner of the window? It's how it was when they first moved them off the wings.

I can see elements in the front end from aston martin and the jag xf.

if you look closely on the top picture you can see that the wheels are already starting to peel

Exactly what I thought, jag and Aston all over it........which is no bad thing at all

[ESA2]

I think the rear has a touch of Audi A7 about it aswell

As for the mirrors, look a bit on the thick side for my liking. Apart from that and cleaning those alloys I like it

[TITx]

I'm really liking the looks of this. Front Aston Martin and rear Jag, lets hope we get some engines to match the looks.

Is this your Capri GT? She looks gorgeous! The 2.8 laser is one of my top 5 cars of all time!

Sex on wheels!

Ps...The new Mondy doesn't look to bad either! LOL!

Now all we need to do is make sure they make a performance version - Bring back the ST220

I honestly believe we'll never see it!
Tne days of the high power petrol engine are numbered. It's a financial/economical argument. My 400bhp SC Zed was £450 road tax, Only 97+ron fuel and 28mpg if I drove like an old lady!
At knockhill or out on a Hoon I used to get about 13mpg!! and at about £100 a tank and £450 for new rear tyres it became to expensive!

Sorry rant over!
God I'm going to miss crude when we eventualy run out!

Was never a lover of the Capri at 17yrs young I prefered the xr3, mind you next door neighbour had one of the last a dark green (brooklands?) 280 special think it was around an E plate (1988) now that was a nice one.

I owned a XR2 when I was 17 then an XR3 at 19 and finally a RS Cosworth at 21.

But I've always secretly wanted a Capri to fit a SCV8!

[brianmor]

Had lots of xr3's and xr3i's and one mk2 Mexico. Loved them all. Looking for a nice project type mk2/ Capri for a cossie but can't find the right one/ right price for my budget as yet.

[nippy]

Looks nice, I won't buy one though. Never having another Ford.
