A matter of opinion really.
True; but there were a lot of more powerful and faster contemporary 4 pots around at the time (too many to list) and also many that preceded the Capella (including and without naming any of the exotics and any of UK 2 seater sports, the Alfa Giulia TI, BMW 2000, Fiats 124 and 850's, Toyota Celica, Honda's Coupe 7 and Coupe 9, Datsun 1600, Lotus Cortina, Cortina GT, Ford Capri 1600, Ford Escort Twin Cam, Lancia's Fulvia an Flavia's, Renault 16TS). And I will quote another opinion on the Capella from "Classic and Sports - A-Z of Cars of the 1970's Bay View Books 1990 Page 100 "Classical Japanese 'grey porridge' . No character except for full equipment and Japanese reliability."
