Is the Bronco coming back?

I approve the front end. Put FORD letters on the horizontal bar. I like the the raised front fender tops.

I agree with others, it needs F O R D on the grill rather than the oval. Would be even better if they cast them red... Love the front end and would like to see a removable top. I know these pics are speculating but this is something I would definitely buy. The Bronco isn't slated to return till the 2018 lineup but by then I will be ready for new vehicle payments.

Wouldn't it be cool if they built something similar to the rendering, but uncut. Hmm I don't think anyone has even thought about a new uncut version.

I don't think that would appeal to the masses, specially those that are looking for it to be in direct competition with the Jeep... that being said, I do not see why the aftermarket would not make a fender to graft in to get that look, it i certainly possible. After thinking more on it and some speculation of an SVO version like the raptor, I would have to see one done up but in red white and blue like the stroppe... now that would be bad ass!

the latest rendering from a bronco enthusiast

http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/is-this-what-the-new-ford-bronco-will-look-like-1761052957

I think it looks like an S10 blazer, and EB, and BII got into some sick threeway conception and this ugly thing came out.

If that one had a solid front axle, a 5.0 Coyote, and a removable top then Ford might have a winner. :cool:

I like the front - very reminiscent of our Broncos. Since this is not a Ford rendering I doubt what Ford comes up with will be anything close to this. But I hope it is!

But then again, maybe Ford is having some designs leaked out to test public reaction?? I will be very disappointed if it does not have a removable top.

I think its the slope of the rear and lean of the side glass that gives it the Blazer look. If the liftgate had a straighter drop (ei - EB's and BII's) I think it would look more "Bronco". This is the best, although not perfect, rendering I've seen so far but I agree it takes solid axles and removable top/doors to steal my money.

I know you know this, but we won't be seeing a 5.0 in any forthcoming Bronco's, V-6 will be the top of the line with a straight 4 standard I'm betting. Would love it if Ford stuck in a Diesel though. Ford stuck a V-6 in the new GT, that's got to be saying something for the future of Ford's top of the line engines.

yea, like i said, too close to the S10 blazer, but if you squint a little, it is a scaled down full size bronco.

I thought the front was EB, and the back a scale down of the big bronco. Maybe I need new glasses though. I thought it looked better than any of the other concepts I've seen.

to me, the hood is EB, the grill/front is BII, and the side is S10.

In other words make it even less likely to be able to compete well against the JK, which is what it is intended to do in the first place.

To do that will make it the same sort of failure as the FJ Cruiser, one of it's major problems was that tires one whole inch larger would rub against a mount sticking out in the wheel well that had no reason it needed to be there.

But who puts bigger tires on their off road vehicle anyway? %)

You can only shape and sculpt a brick so many ways, and still appeal to the masses. I would hope the physical size isn't small.
