Title: New Ford Puma
Post by: Galaxy on June 26, 2019, 12:12:54 AM
Cute little thing, but it does not have much resemblance with the OG. The took the light signature from the GT. Ecoboost I3s with 125hp, or a Hybrid with 48V and 155hp. A 125hp diesel is also offered.

^There is a nifty tub in the trunk with a plug that can be hosed out.


Hmm can not hotlink the photos.

I don't know how to feel about it. It looks weird from the front, and in typical Ford small car fashion, the interior looks small. It's also FWD only.


I wouldn't be surprised if it comes to the US, but I think Ford really needs a cheaper and traditional car that isn't an SUV in our market. Just one.

I don't understand why this AND the Ecosport exists.

If Ford is smart this will put the Ecosport to pasture

I agree that Ford should have 1 car- the new Focus- selling at lower volumes/higher margins.

Also is Kuga supposed to be some kind of play on Cougar?

For the love of God, please stop ruining the names of fun, small, sporty cars by slapping them on lame-ass CUVs....

I think this is the chocolate angle.

It really doesn't look that bad honestly.  The new styling looks better here than the escape and this seems worlds better than the echoshit.

I like the way it looks, for a CUV, but give it its own name.  Surprised they didn't rename the new Kuga "Capri".

It's one of those cars where I find the rear more attractive than the front. That's been happening a lot lately. :lol:

Something I would never be in the market for, but it's a neat little package.  Love the way the wheels fill the wheel wells.
