Perhaps your own post represents the answer to your own question? No such thing as bad publicity...
Yes, i thought that ....
BUT .... if this was just a suggestion by Ford to gain such publicity then that works. But this is the final product and final name and Ford ain't budging.
So you get publicity - but who would want to buy a car knowing that almost univerally everyone is going to hate the name of your new car and instead of commending you on their new purchase is going to say "that's not a feckin' Capri !! "
