Looks like the boys at Auto Express have been bored and playing with photoshop again to make a squashed Fiesta.

It'll never happen.

Why will it not happen? I thought the Puma was a big success for Ford.

I am loving the dodgy photoshop! Check out under the sills and the rear wheels! Along with the front window, wheel arches and the lack of rear reflector on the nearside.

Not quite. For the first 3 years it had a decent waiting list, but come the end of it's production run in 2001, they had to shift units with special editions like the Black and Thunder to shift them. S'why you get '52 platers even though they'd stopped making them in 2001.

I dont know whats sadder, autoexpress feeling the need to make up complete bullshit storys, or the fact theres silly thick cunts who actually believe what they write!!!

Surely as a car mag they have zero credibility by now?
