Ford of Europe is too busy recreating the hits of the 80s with the Focus/Fiesta (aka Fester) ST - new versions of the old RS Escort - to be bothered recreating the 70s surely. Especially now nobody has enough cash. Bring back the Puma before this. The Capri was ace, I have a friend with a Mk3 Laser whih is ace – only 2 litres of pure Pinto power but retro cool.

Ford has tried to resurrect a mid-size coupe several times since the demise of the European Capri of the 70s & 80s. They have failed each time.
