..and yes I realise this car sounds a lot like a Mustang! I'd just prefer a lighter, smaller vehicle that would be a better handler to go up against the 3-series coupe, CLK and S5 etc.

There's a pretty good chance there will be a new Capri based on the new Focus, Ecoboost 4 should be a given, problem is it will more than likely be FWD, or less likely AWD.

I'm afraid the days of small RWD cars is all but dead bar maybe the 1 series BMW.
