First time I saw the Polestar the rear end reminded me of a later model Avensis saloon with the higher boot.

I picked up a lad a few years ago and he was telling me he was buying the new VW scirocco.I asked him if he remembers the old one and he never even knew there was an old one.Little bollix.

I think that was the later model Capri:
Here's the older one.

The Capri EV is nothing remotely like the original.  This will make it easy to spot the reviewers who have taken a few coins to promote the car and those who do honest reviews!

I saw one honest review and the nearest she could come to the old Capri was the rear curved windows and even that was a major maybe.
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.

While quick off the mark it comes in at 121 BHP.

The new Capri is 228 BHP or 335 BHP, depending on the model.
