I LOOOOOVE it. I have since this concept came out in 2004. They've been talking about it for years so I'll believe it when they make it official, not a moment before.

There will be an EXTREMELY small market for the Bronco so I'm just not sure they can put it into product just for a small group of people who might or might not buy it. Doesn't make economic sense. Two door SUVs just don't cut it anymore except for a very few people. ONLY the Wrangler can make it worth the effort. Even with the Wrangler, The 4 door version is the hot seller anyway.

After my daughter was born, I needed to save some money so I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone. My wife was driving a Mustang, I had a super crew F150. We needed to save money and cut expenses, So I sold my truck and bought a super clean 1996 Bronco with cash. I ALWAYS wanted a Bronco, I was stoked. I thought Id drive it for a few years to get us by and then get a new truck when money came available. Then Id keep the Bronco as a toy. Oh HELLLL no. My wife complained constantly about having to navigate into the truck with only TWO doors. This is how it is these days. Inconvenience is NOT an option.

The end of my rant....I had to sell my beloved Bronco and buy the least expensive used Expedition I could find.

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.

It looks neat and I think with the modular construction and flex manufacturing, Ford may be able to justify building it.

Put some rear doors like the Toyota FJ and solve some of the issue with backseat entry

I liked all the Broncos, but liked them better when they looked like the F-150, or maybe take an Expedition, chop the rear doors off, and make the rear to removable.

Although I like this Bronco concept, the retro styling has it looking dated.

I can't decide if I like the look of it or not. I think it's the silver color that's throwing me off. I forgot if it was the article I posted up or if it was a different one. But it said that there was an optional 4.0 liter Diesel, that's kinda interesting. I wish they have more interior shots of it. And maybe they can design it to have rear doors like a super cab?

As a past, current, & future Ford owner, my advice: don't do it.

As a Ford investor, same advice: don't do it.
