Good on you for utilizing your space to the fullest and sucking it up to get what you want. Don't listen to the Bronco Wagon enthusiasts- your kid is gonna think your 7 speed Bronco 2 door is the baddest thing on the block, and a 4 door will never be as cool.
With things you buy frequently or need special logistic considerations, like food or household supplies, it makes sense to have middlemen to manage the complexity of it for a small extra cost. Car dealerships are the opposite of that, they make a single purchase one makes every few years as...
You're drastically misunderstanding him. The point is that dealerships as an institution are not *really* subject to simple 'supply v demand' economics because they don't produce nor are they the end consumer. At *best* a dealership is palatable and 99% of the time they're just obfuscatory and...
I'm not saying that, I'm saying a certain number of BadSquatch buyers are going to say 'well I don't want to pay for an auto transmission I'm not even getting so ill nix Squatch' OR they'll say 'well I'm already paying for it may as well get the auto'. I'm in the former group, but I'm willing to...
If they kept the Sasquatch at $2500 for Badlands then yeah I'd agree, but they're upcharging manual owners for choosing the stick. I think its going to lead a lot of people who are conscious of their money to either forego Sas or forego the manual, and I will bet the latter will be the...
The Sasquatch package *absolutely* makes sense only if you want the automatic transmission. It's a huge waste of money on the manual and Ford knows that either people won't realize it or they'll just default to the auto if they do. I would bet the take rate of manual transmissions will decline...
There should've been three trim levels other than FE- Base, Outer Banks, and Badlands.
Base- identical
OBX- identical except leather and B&O is standard, special color
Badlands- identical except special beadlock wheels are standard, special color
Everything else should've been a package or...
A cold weather package would've been cool. Honestly the idea of the Bronco is not suited to the typical mass produced marketing strategies that rely on packages engineered to make you pay for stuff you don't want to get the things you do. That's why we have two or three Bronco trims that really...
