Why the 2021 Bronco is awesome

[j2k4]

I'm also the only one here who cares about the Bronco...let alone probably the only one besides you who pays attention to this thread.

p.s.
did the 3/s community just give in and go back to the AF hell of 3sdie?

pps

and yes...you're damn right i'm peeved. and i wouldn't expect you or most people here to understand. the concept of "not having one's choice of transmission" in automotive land is a fairly new concept for the purists. and rather overdue, imho.

Kudos to you, Carlos, for avoiding capitalization as a means of communicating your pique.

Here is my suggestion:

Market the Bronco as a Bronco, not a Ford.

Treat and advertise it as a niche vehicle and let name-recognition and marketing do the rest.

There...all better.

I'm one of the guys that wanted an mt with sasquatch

Uh oh, runs away

Excited to see how the Bronco performs. Not against a MT either.

it's funny. the 4g broncos with the AT were used for off-roading and ran just fine. So apart from the crawler gear being a tad higher ratio...I don't really get the appeal of the MT. Even the Bronco R has an AT...just like the Rally Fighter uses an AT. And that's what I would be using mine for; 70 mph runs off road.

Uh-oh - the Bronco has some competition!

It's altogether laughable, pitiable and totally understandable why Chevy went that route....since on-road SUV's are the only thing people seem to care about these days.

My dream is that Isuzu teams up with Suzuki to bring the Jimny chassis to the USA as a reborn vehiCross; complete with drop-top, removable doors, locking differentials, etc. (i.e. the compact 1g Bronco that Ford SHOULD have built for the 2-door)

Of course, this is about as likely as Mitsubishi actually making another GTO, but at least I can dream.

I love the Jimny. Half the price, half the length, twice the tippiness, lol. Only thing better would be owning a 2 stoke Jimny...

except....it's not rollover prone. Consumer Reports lied through their teeth about it.

Isuzu and Mitsubishi also got burned on CR lying their asses off. It cannot possibly be a coincidence that ALL THREE of these brands are now mere footnotes in the USDM market; 2 are gone entirely, and Mitsubishi is comatose and on life support....struggling so bad that they made the ECLIPSE into a CROSSOVER SUV.

CR deserves to DIAF and everyone who worked in/on/around these stories should serving life sentences--as there's no amount of financial recoupment that can assuage the mental anguish and suffering of consumers who were/are forced to live without 2 VERY reputable off-road brands...and allowing Jeep a virtual HAMMERLOCK on the market (especially for 2 door). Naturally, this also means price gouging. THE ENTIRE COUNTRY has suffered as a result of CR's underhanded, unscrupulous tactics. And we now have OVER 2 DECADES of vehicles getting so progressively bigger and bigger that they WON'T EVEN FIT IN YOUR GARAGE!!!

...and the only offerings which show that good things come in small packages and can still PWN off-road...aren't here for you or I to enjoy.

Ummm, you do know the Samurai and Jimny are not the same vehicle.... The Jimny is a bit bigger with a better suspension, and more importantly wasn't sold here.

Funny story, I rolled a Samurai twice, but it was offroad so I don't think that counts, lol.
