FORD MOTOR CO. Response on CONCEPT BRONCO

[VTBRNCO]

I wrote an e-mail to FORD with my thoughts on the concept FORD Bronco (crcfmc@customersupportctr.com). Here is their response. For what it is worth.

As soon as we figure out how to make a product out of plastic and beer cans that resembles an eb with soft independent susp. and a price tag of 40k we'll let you know.

What a shocker, a Bull$#!t e-mail response that says nothing and touts products that had nothing to do with the original e-mail subject.

Give ford a break atleast they responded and yes the Bronco concept looks like alot of plastic but the final product might be totally different give them a chance atleast there really thinking about building a new bronco. And a small one at that. Personally I don't mind the new look but it needs some changes.

Ford no longer possesses the BALLS to build something we Bronco lovers would even look twice at with pleasure. I thought the IDEA of the Bronco was to create something to compete with the current j*%ps or concept j*#ps. At least Jeep is listening to thier customers. Did you see the "Rescue" concept?

 

[TOMKLU]

I've already come to the conclusion that there will never be a vehicle built to match the EB. I love the simplicity of the EB, not the complex land of computers, airbags from 14 directions, power this and that, and plastic all over ( I hate plastic in my cars ). Just because the outside may look close to an Early relative does not mean there is any similarity.

I bet you I can beat their Price tag, if I stripped mine down again and started over from the frame

Keep it up!

Keep up the emails to Ford you guys. 4-5 years ago I got involved with the Subaru crowd, back before the WRX and STI came over. The best thing going at the time in the US was the Impreza 2.5RS but everyone knew that Subaru had the WRX overseas. There was a constant effort in the Subaru community to barrage Subaru with emails requesting the WRX. Subaru's response was always just like response that you guys are getting from Ford. Now days we not only have the WRX here in the states buts the WRX STI hotrod. Similar pressure on Ford could net the same results!
