That whole website is hilarious
It's like one big rumor wrapped in the package of an actual, credible website

There’s no official word on specs, but the upcoming Ford Bronco allegedly will offer three different engines, two gasolines and one diesel. Both gasoline powertrain will reportedly borrowed from the current Ford F-150 pickup, although we understand that it’s just a rumor. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is expected to be the first option, with its peak output at least 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
The 5.0-liter V8 engine will likely be available as well, which is good enough to generate 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. The last one, the 2015 Ford Bronco rumored to get a 4.5-liter diesel engine (lol ok)

The Bronco needs to stay in the 90's where it belongs.

In my opinion (might be a stupid one), they should build a 90s body style bronco with all new power train and interior. I think that would actually sell decent

The Raptor Bronco is sweet. The other thing looks like the result of Megatron having his way with an FJ cruiser.

Originally ford thought the market for the raptor was going to be extremely small and look what happened. Dealers can't even keep then on the lot and they sell close to Msrp (at least in my area). Ford is making a ton of money on the raptor.
Personally I am not a fan. It looks too much like those European looking mercadies box suvs that cost 100,000. They should base the outside styling on the old broncos.

The Bronco would have a "neat" factor but it would still just be a 2 door SUV, not a SVT super truck, who's time has come and gone many years ago.

Exactly, it's pretty easy for something to be in demand/selling like hotcakes when they limit production to such a low number - that's the point, they do it on purpose which brings top dollar.
With only about 13,000 total sold last year, it's not exactly keeping their lights on, although they are obviously making money at the profit margin they are selling them for.
As for a Bronco, I don't think they would sell. It's way too much of niche market.
Sure there are some guys out there that might be all sentimental about the name, able to afford one, and buy it, but I think that's very few people in total.

FJ Cruisers have been anything but successful.
Sales figures:
Calendar year US Canada
2006 56,225 4919
2007 55,170 4901
2008 28,688 2630
2009 11,941 899
2010 14,959 797
2011 13,541 639
2012 13,656 726
2013 13,131 656
Jeep Wranglers, that's another story, yeah they pretty much own the market.
Apparently, they sold almost 142k Wranglers in the USA alone in 2012, that's damn good.
Keep in mind though, this also includes the 4-door version, which definitely boosted sales and opened it up to a much larger demographic of buyers than ever before.
A Bronco, as the old Broncos, is in no way comparable to a Wranger or FJ, it's much larger, unless we're talking about the less popular Bronco2.
I don't see a large 2 door Bronco being a good seller at all. It seems to be the opposite direction of which Ford is moving.
With the Escape, Edge, Explorer, Expedition and Flex, it's pretty crowded
