New Bronco - press conf from Ford

[roundhouse]

would definitely be cool brother..

Ford won’t ever sell a cool vehicle like that in the US
The vehicles ford sells In the US are yesterday’s news to the rest of the world

Remember when the Focus we got was the generation that ford had stopped selling in the rest of the world because it had been replaced by a new gen ?

Ford advertises in India that their cars are easy to repair with easily replaceable fenders and door skins
They wouldn’t dare sell something like that here

Then on the transit connect , they put seats and windows on them so when they are imported from turkey ford can dodge the chicken tax, then they pay someone to remove the seats and toss them in a dumpster since it’s cheaper to make new seats for the new vans than to ship the seats back to turkey

Then when they started selling the connects in the US with the seats still in them ford has the gall to charge extra for not removing the seats
It’s cheaper to sell them with the seats still in but ford charges extra for not removing them
Oh and they sell a turbo diesel five speed connect everywhere else except here
We get the lame gasser slushbox

It's not that I "Hate" Fiat, It's that Fiat vehicles are unreliable and have electrical and mechanical issues as they age.

Have you ever heard the saying "Fix It Again Tony"?

It sums up the general quality issues with Fiat.

The only reason any Co. thinks about a merger with any Co.that has the "Jeep" name is the Jeep name.

It's a money grab.

I will not be surprised if you see Fiat stop selling their sub par vehicles in the US again as the sales of their vehicles are hardly selling now due to this fact.

If you really want a "Jeep" lease it. That way you can give it back before it nickles and dimes your bank acct.

Older Jeeps (pre 2014) are better.



I am holding my breath on the new Bronco.

It will not be the "Classic" Bronco all over again, but I hope it will be in the "Ball park" and just not an other vehicle with the "Bronco" name affixed to it for a money grab.

A ten your old Toyota is more reliable than a Chrysler fiat vehicle

So says consumers reports

My brother had a Fiat 500 Abarth, and that was one of the most fun cars I’ve ever driven! It had a chip in it pushing it up to about 220HP, or so. Not bad for a light weight hatch. Very fast, and handled great. He never had any problems with it, but yeah, Fiat isn’t know for the best quality. If I lived somewhere where the roads didn’t look like they had been carpet bombed, I would likely have one for a daily, but only until the warranty expired.

New Bronco Photo Leaked

Just saw this article on MSN which includes a picture that shows the rear body of the new 2020 Bronco.

It’s the “Baby” Bronco for 2020. I suspect we’ll see more pretty soon. The bigger 2021 won’t be shown for a while, I bet.

Baby Bronco = Pinto. We can only hope!;D

 

[SteveL]

I saw a pretty nice pinto 4x4 sitting on like 35s down in garden grove years ago. I'd take that over what we're probably gonna get

 

[blubuckaroo]

We're being baited with the "photo leaked."
Ford has already released at least three sneak photos.
They've all been completely different from each other.
These guys are good!

They feel the market rumbling, and buyers walking away, they know they are screwed over waiting this long. They need guys to decide NOT to drop $50,000 on a jeep or Taco, and hold on one more year.

Hoping when it happens the Bronco launch goes better than the *&%$ that's going on right now. https://www.freep.com/story/money/c...explorer-lincoln-aviator-delivery/2292795001/

 

[la hi]

I was just going to ask if it was going to be made in South Korea (KIA remark)

The new Jeep Wrangler had some issues first year including customers complaining about some low quality welds on the frame which was addressed. That is a problem with this new Bronco release date getting dragged out so long, you might not want a first year early vehicle due to issues that can occur on first run. So then you are looking at maybe 2022 earliest.

Isn't that always the case?!? First gen models have issues that haven't been sorted out because the vehicle, although tested, hasn't been widely used and abused by the public.

When I was younger, my folks bought a first gen Explorer Sport Trac and it was good, but a few years into it, the window motors gave out, the inside door panel started to loosen up and as of two months ago, less than 100,000 miles and my pop's told me the engine was done.

This is also the reason why I didn't jump all over the 2019 Ranger, eventhough it's been out in the global market, this 2.3L version hasn't been here. Currently, the newer model Ranger is being tested in the proving grounds of Australia and they are testing a V6 version.

With that said, I also think I might wait for the 2022 Bronco.
