I'm a nobody who bought two passenger cars this year. What you really should have said is almost nobody is buying electrics. I don't want to take the time to look up the numbers, but I bet passenger car sales this year dwarf electrics.

I hope you are right. I think that grill design with the single bar across the front would look good with the C shaped head lights.

Oh yeah there are things I dislike about the GT350 and the Z06. But (once I fixed it) I really loved the GT350 on track days. To the point that I did an track rental of a Ferrari F430 and a Porsche GT3 and my reaction was "meh". No I'm with you on the hate and name calling.

I think when a car costs more than $40k many of us have to REALLY like it before we will buy. I'm no Jay Leno to buy one of everything - I'm not even well to do enough to have three new cars. So I have to pick and choose what I buy. I'm only going to spend big money on a new vehicle if it's...

Nothing personal, but you don't know what you're talking about. There was a huge improvement in track performance with the IRS Mustang. Like Jake already said, the 2015 GT with more weight and less power is faster around a road course than the 2012/13 Boss 302.

Featureless and bland? Are you joking? The thing has crazy huge wheel flares on it, the raised style lines in the front quarters are probably three times the size of those on the original Bronco, giant bulge in the hood.... What do you want? A clown car? Edit: based on what the Ford guy...

I did watch a little in "car" video of the Bronco R (or whatever they are calling it) on YouTube. Yep that little engine makes terrible noises. It probably will turn off enthusiasts like me who enjoy a good V8 noise.

I'm still on the fence. If the styling is like the racer I love that. If it doesn't come with a V8, I'm not too interested. If it's over $50k, I'll probably never own one or would only buy after it's beat down and worn out. But I don't have my mind made up and probably won't until they are...

The SRA was good on smooth pavement, but if you drove over a bump, it wanted to toss you off the road. IRS was such a huge improvement it's difficult to even explain. The SRA Mustangs were either overly stiff or allowed too much body motion. IRS did a lot better job of accommodating pavement...

Love that estate green!

The Bronco and SUVs in general are not practical. Well - small SUVs are practical, but for the most part anything larger than an Escape people buy because they want it, not because they need it. I probably am not a buyer for the Bronco, because I'm not super into SUVs. But when a vehicle is...

Dave Pericak in charge of Bronco - I would take that as good news.

Fixed based on the GT350. Revealed November 2014, I received an early available car in November 2015.

You did title the thread using the word "technophobes". I have to admit that when I read your post I immediately felt attacked and I wanted to defend myself. I enjoy technology, but I don't want technology just for the sake of technology. If it does something for me, great. If it sucks...

It looks big! Maybe it should be called Bronco and the other one big Bronco.

It's possible that you are right. That would be a downside of a small boosted engine is it gives good power under boost, but there isn't as much engine braking. My GT350 had more engine braking than the FiST, for sure. I believe they are designing some of the braking out, though. The GT350...

I agree. I think it's a lot more difficult to work on older vehicles where you have to adjust everything. Complicated mechanical devices like carbs are very difficult. It's a lot easier to read a code and R&R whatever part is bad. New cars are really good. Points ignition, drum brakes...

That's a fair criticism. I'm interested in the Bronco, but SUVs are not typically my first choice. I'm still excited to see what it turns out to be. If it's true in the right ways to the original I think I will love it and have to buy one. But if not, ehh. I can certainly live without an...

The body is definitely not finished like a high end vehicle, but that's getting close to a pretty high end price. I wouldn't be surprised if it cost close to that much to put something like that together, though.

I get it. Ford has already spent tons of hours and lots of money to develop the technology. So if I buy a new Ford I'm helping to pay that cost.
