Why is the Ford Puma named after a wild cat?

I've been curious about the inspiration behind the name of the Ford Puma. Is it just because it's sleek and agile like a real puma, or is there a deeper meaning behind it?

The Ford Puma was actually inspired by the success of the Ford Cougar, another wild cat themed car from Ford. However, the Puma has a sportier design and is marketed towards a younger demographic. It's all about capturing the spirit and energy of a puma in a car!

I've always been a fan of Ford's decision to use animal names for their cars. It adds a touch of fierceness and excitement to the brand. Plus, I think it's just a cool and unique name for a car.

Personally, I think it's a marketing tactic to make the car seem more powerful and dynamic. But hey, it worked on me, I ended up buying a Ford Puma!
