gotta admit. I do like the look of it, but yes, it looks like a Macan put on a low spin 60 degree wash for a few hours.

In the way that a 3-series looks like a Q5. Otherwise, not so much. Imho.

It's a smart looking thing, one was in my neighbours drive a couple of weeks back. I couldn't see the nose, just the general shape and sculpting. I thought "that looks like another Kia hatch where they have got the styling spot on".

Was surprised to see the blue oval when it left.

Much smaller than it appears in pictures and must weigh 2/3rd of a Macan.

as a Macan owner, I can only add a comment which I believe applies equally to humans and cars ....LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING

or then again "copying is a form of flattery"

If you guys think the Puma looks like a Macan... you should see the new Escape!

kerb weights
2020 puma 1194 KG

Macan
1,870 to 2,020 kg

So just over half the weight of a Macan is probably a closer description

Well after looking at the pictures for all of 5 seconds. I don't think they look very alike at all.

I'm going to complain to AUDI.

Tend to agree.
The last pretty 4x4 I owned was a Defender in 1981.
Also happens to be the only 4x4 I've owned

They do look similar in some ways.

The bigger issue is they've called it a Puma. With the 'Mustang' Mach E too, Ford are on a roll calling a car something it isn't.

There's a similarity on the inside.... steering wheel is on the left !!

I noticed in the Puma specs that it doesn't have a backup camera. Those have been a requirement out here for a few years. Is that not the case in the UK? For sure, the modern cars with their high aerodynamic tails need them.
