School Me on the new Bronco

Glad to see the “Sport” is not the only one...disappointed to see the “full size” is Ranger based though. I’m sure being a little trimmer is better if you actually use it to off road but I’d rather see it on a 1/2 ton frame.

 

Well they are trying to compete with the Wrangler, not an H2.

 

I saw one on the road the other day.

Total turd.

 

I know the originals were pretty tiny but when I think Bronco the only thing that comes to mind is the OJ chase Bronco. I also think that the abomination that wears the Blazer badge today looks like what a real Blazer would shit out after consuming a Honda Civic.

I know they have to put out something around every 20 years or they lose the right to the name but...c’mon man!

 

I think the Bronco Sport is supposed to have more advanced off road capability that things like the RAV4 and the Escape. Seems small but people who have gotten them seem to be happy with them. Of course we all tend to like things we just spent a bunch of money on.

I’m still on the reservation list for the new Bronco. I didn’t put an order in yet as I would prefer a MY22 after they work out a few bugs and I can get the white hardtop. I still haven’t fully committed to getting one, but I’ve kept my place in line. My guess is I wouldn’t get it until mid 2022.

 

So that must be how Mercedes took the GLC name from Mazda.

 

I haven't committed to the Bronco as well.
There is competition, options, to consider:
- LR Defender
- Jeep Wrangler (4xe & 392)

And, I still browse the listing for a Bronco II (the only vehicle that I have owned or driven that I give serious consideration over anything modern).

 

Not 100% sure on the details but my parents got a 97’ish Monte Carlo and I swear I read something that they took 2 doors off the Lumina and put a Monte Carlo badge on it to retain the name.

 

Yeah, I’m not in a big rush but a convertible 4x4 that is good in the snow is attractive to me. If used Jeeps were a little cheaper, I would go that way, but I do like the styling on the Bronco a lot and it seems like the 4x4 credentials will be pretty decent. I could even imagine adding a roof top tent and doing some over landing in the future. In fact isn’t that what many vehicles are, an idea of adventure more than a practical implement?

 

Well you've identified the problem. Good luck finding a solution.

 

Bronco Sport is a decent car. Yes it is cross breed between a Bronco and the Escape. I would not recommend the 3 cylinder (all trims except Badlands) unless you are just using it as a city commute. The 4 cylinder has some pep to it. It comparable to a Jeep Cherokee, but much better engine and reliability (its not a jeep lol)

The cherokee was horribly rated in the comparison test

I'd rather have an OJ bronco where the hard top came off than a new one.

 

As long as the Beretta and the Corsica don't get reused....Dear GOD NO!

 

78/79 big bronc is best bronc.

 

I don’t know, man. A lot of badass Pro Stock/Pro Street cars built under the Beretta body.

 

That a Beretta or a Lumina?

 

Beretta.

Lumina has a wider grille insert, different headlights and marker lights and sharper bumper line. They’re cool in Pro Street form, as well. Complete shit as an automobile, though.

 

What in the Hell is happening when people actually start believing that a four cylinder has some “ Pep” to it ? I guess I’m just an old dinosaur, but it’s a V-8 or just stay home ... there’s no replacement for displacement.

 

In the right vehicle a turbo 4 can have plenty of pop. I am pretty sure a modern GTI or Eco-boost Mustang will hang right with my wife's 2001 Mustang GT. It wouldn't even be close against a WRX STI, Civic Type R or Boxster. But the soundtrack would be all wrong. Can't deny that.
