Um, because the Bronco Sport is very strongly based on an existing vehicle, the Escape. The Bronco is much more a brand new vehicle, which is a lot harder than badge-engineering.Ford can’t hide behind the pandemic. They managed a pretty smooth Bronco Sport launch during the same time.
Ford screwed up by making too many promises too early, like I said. But I worked in the auto industry for many years and still have a lot of friends at all of the Detroit 3. This pandemic has screwed a lot of stuff up outside of their control, and you really can't blame Ford for cancelling semiconductors early in 2020 when you recall how badly the 2008 recession went for the auto industry when they *didn't* react fast enough.
But hey, don't let me get in the way of the Ford bashing.
