Mine is the same as Sparks, my last van was the joystick type, I reckon they would be interchangeable.

My Vignale was built 3 days after yours and its got the later design. I guess that narrows down the changeover point.

The dial portion of the speedometer seems utterly useless as it's completely unreadable, at least to me.

There seem to be a large number of opportunities for redesign
  • The large lines are added at 15mph increments which are only useful when traveling at 30 or 60
  • There are no numbers round the dial so the lines are largely irrelevant as you can't quickly figure out at a glance which line you're looking at.
  • The graduated graphic that increases in size as you go quicker is impossible to decipher quickly as there's way too much going on
  • The arrow around the edge showing the target speed when using the speed limiter or cruise control just adds to the general clutter and graphic overload

Imagine trying to rely upon it if the speed was not also displayed in large numbers

It either needs re-designing or just removing completely and rely on the digital numbers

Rear lights have to be updated. The indicators are virtually invisible when the brakes lights come on.

When I first started driving flashing indicators were a luxury but juggling with the choke on a cold morning needed a lot of patience and a bit of luck. Flood the plugs and it was all over, might as well go back in and have a cup of tea.
Haha! My dads Ford Pop had indicators in the centre pillars that popped out when he wanted to turn. My mum sat in the back waiting for the instruction:

“Hit the (left or right) indicator, Norah”

She would then give the door pillar a smack and the indicator would pop out 😃

Them were the days 🤣🤣

Sorry if anyone has already posted this but looks like they are testing the 2024 Puma, minor facelift along the lines of the Fiesta/Focus and sync 4 look to be the main changes on the petrol Puma https://uk.motor1.com/news/671956/2024- ... py-photos/

Not sure if the Ford badge on the grill and removing lower fog lights is a bit improvement but will wait and see
