Nice styling, just a pity about the engines they say it will come with. Definitely wouldn't sell well over here with those.

I have just bought a 2001 Ka - traded in my venerable EA Fairmont Ghia with 350,000km. Ka is great - ideal for my purposes.

The Ka is nice, but that bit in the corner about a new Capri is much more interesting. Did they have a picture of that?

Sorry Photn, I was thinking proper old skool Capri. My first car was a 1971 1600 XL Capri. Dream car would be a 280 Brooklands. Google it & you'll see what I mean. Funnily enough, my Fez puts out the same power from the same size engine as my Capri. Originally anyway, but it would drink less juice to do it.
