    Ford has unveiled it's new Ford Puma for 2019 and it's a small SUV this time!!!

    It's will be a little bigger that the Fiesta, and should be on sale here before Christmas or early next year.

    It's just ok looking. The front is very like the Kia Sportage. Almost bug eye look.

    it looks like they just recycled the name as it has 0 resemblance to the previous Puma.

    Great to have a new sporty three door Ford again. No, wait a minute. Somebody posted picture of Kia Stonic here for some reason :-)

    A small "Kia Stortage" looking Ford, probably will sell very well so!!!

    At least, it looks better that the Ecosport! :o

    Came here expecting some sporty 2 door revival of the Puma. Maybe something electric (maybe that was too far). Got another crossover. I guess there's little market for a real Puma revival here, and I would be money this will sell really well.

    Rear looks a dead ringer for the Clio!

    The first thought I read the title was, oh cool, I'd only been wondering the other day why cars like the puma/tigra/megane coupe don't exist anymore.

    Then I saw the photo, this is a Puma in name only, its just another generic SUV.

    When will this fad of lamping a 7/9inch screen into a dash as a last thought stop... There must be a designer out there that can combine the feature set of a screen with the rest of the dash in a more elegant way.... :-(

    The only way this could be worse is if Ford decide to make an ad with a digital version of Steve McQueen in it

    I dunno. I still see well kept pumas going about every now and then. There's still a desire for them.

    I think its great, much better than the crappy tiny 3-5 inch monochrome or bad colour displays that we used to get. Throw in AndroidAuto/ApplyPlay and you have a useful interface. I think its much better

    dont get me wrong displays are great and useful, The inclusion for the most part is shocking. Audi A6 has the right idea with a pop up display

    It's still relatively a new idea and could require quite some work to redo those sections of the dash. Too low down takes focus off the road. BMW, merc and Mazda all seem to put them in the same place for a time. With Merc having recently changed the format of their dash. I wouldn't like a VAG implementation where the screen is very low down.

    Yawn. Knew what it would be even before I opened the thread.

    Nope, the Puma.

    How many small suv varients does the car market need? Ford already have 1..

    Seems like one very unspecial and unwanted addition. ..

    It looks terrible, i had the MK1 version in 1.7 VCT, i cried my eyes out watching it going to the crusher as she was corroded beyond repair.

    I like the placement of the central air vents. I always felt my crotch region was underserved by the climate control in modern cars.

    The old Mitsubishis and maybe others had that specific "intercooler" vent under the steering column for the purpose.
