Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

[viper88]

I haven't traded in years but I just transferred funds to my trading account. Hopefully it goes the way of 2008. A properly placed 40k investment netted nearly 7 figures.

No wonder you buy so many Wranglers!

Rays...in terms of performance.

At the end of the day, it’s still a Ford. That alone should tell the buyer about it’s performance. Notice that my last statement is neutral: it is up to the reader to decide if that’s a good thing or that’s a bad thing.

I just don't feel it. I think that they could have deepened the character lines more, and given the grill some concave surface area. I just don't have any emotional reaction to it as it is. I honestly hope that it does well. But that design will age poorly. We may be looking at FJ Cruiser 2.0

Except that the FJ had more distinct styling features. It is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, with value actually increasing. I think Toyota wishes they had it in their current lineup.

FJ is popular now because it's rare and will be good collectable like 60s bronco.

Seing how restored 60s Broncos cost upwards $80k and there's demand for new copies of classic to be made by 3rd party approved by ford - F made one that closely resembled 60s with slight modernized finishes.
F did better job at redesigning classic compared to FJ. Unlike FJ, all areas/ sides of new bronco closley resembles that of the old.

I think they are staying true to overall design of 69 bronco, side profile ( door/window/ roof lines) , fender flairs and grill.
They leaked them on purpose to lessen stock fall.

I always did like the old Broncos. Damn!

imagine that, interest in an enthusiast vehicle on an enthusiast vehicle website. this aint a camry website drawing interest in an accord lol.

I like the look of it.

I wouldn't say it looks better than a Wrangler in any way though.

With Ford powertrains it will be a good package. Interested to see what they did with the doors and the soft top too.

I still wonder about IFS and aftermarket support.

Im really excited about that soft top. I hope it’s powered!

Not sure if the pics posted are really the actual Bronco? Aesthetically I am not feeling it yet if the pics are real. The 2-door looks better then the 4-door to me. I will not past final judgment until I see one in person. It will be interesting to see how they drive. Being able to remove the doors and store them inside the vehicle is a winner. So is mounting the side mirrors on the "A" pillar. Can't wait to see how their hard top removal is and soft top function. Will not be very long now.

I would not blink a eye if this were a FORD enthusiast form. What's concerning is this is a JEEP Wrangler forum and the views are for a FORD product.

The 2-door is apparently a clay model. It’s about 2/3 scale and is not quite the final design. The 4-door is production intent but I think it’s a very unflattering angle/lighting.

The 2 door Bronco looks awesome. I can't wait to see it in production form. I'm glad they decided to use the 1st gen Bronco as inspiration. The 1966 - 77 version of the Bronco is my fav.
