Word has it that they stopped production when it was still very popular so that it would remain that way, rather than sort of fading away as people cared less and it got old.

Maybe one day there will be something similar based on the current fester chassis (which is ace for a car of it's size).

The Bullitt advert was a winner, being chased by the mustang around San Francisco.

In silver they do look a bit ghey. The black ones look cool though. And the racing one is much more manly.

The Opel/Vauxhall Tigra was more of a girly car than the the Puma IMO

Also had teeny tiny engines. 1.4 I believe? They were very girly.

Biggest girls car around at the moment has got to be the new VW Beetle, hasn't it?

Yep, the new Beetle or the Citroen c3 pluriel.

My GF had one of those Plurial's for a while and it was a horrible car. Roof was forever going wrong, it leaked a lot when it rained. That was so bad she even had the windscreen replaced and on other occassions loads of other parts. At least it was whilst under guarantee. The senso auto gearbox was also really bad and sometimes decided it wasn't going to accelerate when you put your foot down (not good when pulling out on a roundabout!), and taking the roof right down was a complete nightmare. SO BAD in fact that we only did it twice. The two side rails wouldn't connect back into the rear pillars when we tried to reassemble the car and it took us over half an hour to get the whole thing back together and the roof back up. Good job it wasn't raining!

At least she did finally get fed up with it and part exchanged it for the car she has now, which is much better. A Hyundai Coupe.
