Your right, no one has driven it yet, everyone who has an opinion on it is based strictly off looks.
But if a 74 Gremlin handled like a Ferrari it is still an ugly as **** Gremlin.
Jeep should be worried.

Low MSRP on the base model is ~29. I think out the door it’s probably gonna be close to $35. But I doubt you’ll find anything basic in the first several months unless you order it. A well equipped Rubicon is >50K. I’m sure you could spec out a Bronco for > 50K too.Ford is providing a lot of options here. There should be something for everyone that is interested in this type of vehicle.
I would be interested in the 4 door version, but I'd have to drive it first.
And pricing will be a factor as always with me.
If they come in at $50k, I'm out.

We have a shop full of mold for it that aren't textured or approved for production yet.
Except the two that make this speaker grill and USB cover...
I had been in the running to win some parts for the roof system, but they ended up not using plastic injection. I was hoping to have some content on these vehicles.
We also built a cute little bottle cap opener mold for it.
Cool! I think you told me, but I forgot; who do you work for?
Regal up in Elkhart.
Reminds me of my old Internation Scout....which was my favorite hunting vehicle.
Hopefully, those options will include a transmission that lasts more then 75K. Even if this new Bronco didn't look like the love child of a CJ cruiser coupling with a Honda Element, there's no way I'd risk my money on the first model year.
The return of the Bronco has always been about competing with the Wrangler head to head. A full size Bronco wouldn’t do that.

Speaking of competing, on paper this thing meets or beats the Wrangler in several categories. For rock crawling I don’t think it can be as competitive with Wrangler’s articulation because of solid front axles. But it looks like Ford even put some thought into that. The chassis is based on the Ford Ranger, except the front suspension was redesigned to give better travel. I don’t think it would be anywhere near as good as the Rubicon but I’d like to see the articulation score on a Bronco with the Sasquatch package.
