The Youabian Puma made its debut at the L.A. Auto Show and stirred up quite a bit of controversy. It was created by an L.A.-based company founded by a plastic surgeon. This car is in a league of its own and commands attention wherever it goes. It barely even fits on the road and would be extremely difficult to park. A lot of this car originally came from the Volvo C70 (i.e. interior, folding hardtop, top half of the car, headlamps [sort of]) and the taillamps were taken straight from the Buick Enclave. Under the hood is a 7.0-liter V8 churning out 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, which is paired to a six-speed automatic. 0-60 mph happens in 5.9 seconds and it achieves 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. Priced at $1.1 million, the Youabian Puma is for wealthy people who desire to stand out from the conventional. I have two words to summarize this abnormal vehicle: horrendous and overpriced. I am personally not a huge fan of it.
