Ford Puma

Not a Ford fan, but I like the look of this little hatchback.

Meh, another overly sized vehicle for what you actually get in terms of storage space - meaning sub par fuel economy.

With the current design of vehicle and their cut back rears, they become such less practical. If I can a larger vehicle then I'll get one with adequate storage space such as a highlander etc. If I want something with that little storage space then I would get something like a matrix or corolla hatchback.

I just fail to understand the excitement over these types of vehicles

I do like the front end and the simple interior.

It's OK looking. I've certainly seen worse, but tmontague is right as far as space to fuel economy to price ratios. Then again people don't seem to care about that as evidenced by current sales trends.

Looks better than the other small crossovers out there currently - and look, no tacky-looking, cheapo black plastic cladding everywhere.

Toyota should especially take some notes on styling for their fugly little C-HR.

I would think this would directly compete with their Ecosport.

I haven't seen an Ecosport in person, but it looks good in photos. Short and stubby. Like a Buick Encore.

But my first car was a Ford and it left me stranded all over northern CA. Since then, no Fords in the family for the last 20 years.
