It would seem your Ford Puma S1600 campaign has reached the right departments at IXO HQ - well done chaps! This is their recent Facebook statement...

"You've asked, We heard... R&D has started with PUMA S1600!!! Open for more suggestions related to this model! Also and you already know, the suggestions that get a good amount of likes will be taken into consideration. So BRING ON what you have!

1 - Jari-Matti Latvala / Miikka Anttila #43 Rallye Monte Carlo 2004

Result and power to the people. Ixo now have the chance to prove they are the enthusiasts they claim to be! Probably helps that Duval drove one as they seem to love him Very Happy

Thanks

Shame Duval never drove a plain white Metro 6R4, as that model suggestion had much more support than the Puma, and would be a much easier / cheaper model for them to put into production. Wink

But hey, I'm not bitter!... lol!

Think you will get your wish sooner than the Puma appears!

Ixo's lead times and release schedules are always a bit of a mystery as we all know by now. Lots of previously announced models that are still to see the light of day and random liveries of existing mouldings etc and interestingly enough the models announced for February/March delivery are yet to appear as well.

At least they are using FB in the way a lot of other companies claim they do to interact with their customers. For example can you imagine Minichamps and their usual Teutonic manner responding in such a positive manner?
