The car market is so weird, plenty of cars like that in the rest of world.
Even Ford sells the Puma here, small electric car, but it's not available in the US for some reason π
it's a racket. most assuredly. the whole united states is a cash cow. an entire herd of captive consumers whom The Epstein Class expect to either a) BUY THE SLOP or b) DIE.
The Ford Puma is an suv, not a small electric car (I don't like how tall it is, length is ok, tho), it starts at β¬30k (already including the government aid, and probably handing your old car) so hardly affordable. And the central console is just a massive touchscreen, the only buttons are on the wheel, lots of them, which the OC didn't mention but I, personally, hate whit a passion.
The one and only Ford Puma
The new Puma is just a Mach-e
Definitely not an suv. It's a compact crossover, which is marketing code for small 4 door car with hatchback. It has zero sport utility vehicle ability. Quick comparison, it's basically a Mustang Mach-e but they changed the name for Europe.
SUV is literally how Ford is marketing it, in my country at least, I took it directly from their website.
