The car you always promised yourself” was the memorably brilliant way the Ford Motor Company marketed the original Capri, a rakish looking coupe, when it first skidded onto our roads back in 1969. (There was actually an even earlier iteration, a short-lived “Consul Capri” model from 1961, but that’s by the by.)
I’m sure that the tagline could be quite appropriately attached to the new, radically different car; but I can’t help feeling that it’s not the car that Ford always promised themselves they’d be making in 2025.
