New Ford Puma Gen-E

No wonder Ford are way behind the curve with the pricing on their today’s debut of the Puma Gen-E, The base models will start at an eye watering €36,900, That’s €8000 more expensive than the ICE version.
Battery prices have dropped drastically in the last 18 months, except for legacy auto it seems. World premiere Ford Puma Gen-E: Ford electrifies its bestseller - electrive.com
You can get a better specced MG4 EV for around £20k-26k these days·
No wonder they have trouble selling EV’s. They’re just taking the pish.

Looks like it’s been t watted in the middle. My little 1.2 clio banger has more style :face_vomiting:

I remember the Puma as being a 2 door sporty number based on the Fiesta(I think). This looks more like a 4 door hatch akin to a focus. why can’t manufacturers keep the names on vehicles similar to the original.
Puma, Kuga/Cougar, Capri, Viva all spring to mind, sure there are others.
Cortina-Sierra-Mondeo all replaced the one before, why didn’t they just stick to Cortina?
Sound of axe grinding, sorry. Always been a pet hate :grimacing:

Seen the Ford Mustang recently?

Yes. I’m undecided. Like the lines but like with most new cars those big bulbous like bumper assembly’s ruin it. Front and rear. Seems commonplace now.
I mean on some cars they might serve a purpose with the vents and aerodynamics or whatever but ■■■■ they’re ugly.
What do you think of it?

I know an owner who loves it as a vehicle. I haven’t driven it so no comment there. I agree it is never going to be called elegant!

I expect that the name, upsets @Beaunydel though. A 1960’s sport saloon that is now a family EV.
