How good the reveal is to be honest. Im looking for a new car (1996 honda CRV) and if it looks like ford isnt serious about taking on the wrangler and killing it. I might have to buy a wrangler diesel.
I like the better milage (allegedly) i like the better engine than the wrangler. But im...
Define "off road".
How many people , as a percentage of jeep wrangler owners , take their vehicles to areas where they need solid front and rear axles , a lift , and disconnected sway bars? Talking real hardcore rock crawling.
I would have to say maybe less than 10%.
The reality is the jeep...
Our country is not going back to a pre-polarized state. You can thank jon stewart for making political hate comedy a thing that quickly made its way into major news networks as a viable business strategy.
As far as covid 19. We learned alot as a society. If anything we should be thanking the...
its literally true. Look at the data. Almost all deaths in my state are from nursing homes and people who work there who spread it to their communities.
The idea that we shut down society if a truly dangerous disease strikes is one we need to prepare for. But this disease is not it. There is no...
the only people dying from this are people in elderly homes , and typically the african american middle aged (often obese) people that work there.
At the end of this whole thing they will find there was a feedback loop between these two demographics and why it was hit so hard yet left pretty...
covid 19 is a nothingburger. Any plant that shuts down over it is beyond stupid. Unfortunately this will take months for major corporations to figure out. And somebody will have to deal with media lying about its severity.
Ford should not allow that line to shut down again and fire anybody on...
I would have to push back here a bit. Even if they say that there is a good chance its a ford launched "organic" site. AKA they do not "own" the site , but it was launched internally by ford people and will be used as the "go to ford community" in all future PR things.
The fact that that...
I dont think resale value will be a thing until good sales are established.
You also have to understand the reason wranglers have good resale is because its the only car of its kind on the market. A competitor could spell doom for both bronco and wrangler resale.
Raptor will continue to be...
unless the engine specs are not accurate for the bronco , the 2.7 engine makes the wrangler irrelevant on the road and off the road unless rocks/serious terrain is involved.
Wrangler is in deep trouble because their vehicle is severely underpowered and has been in a design slump for a long...
There is also the small possibility that they are launching the consumer versions of this product first.
Right now we know of the bronco sport and the normal bronco. Maybe there is an enthusiast "bronco raptor" that has different body/suspension configuration/engine.
I think this was fords single most important design decision. Should they stick with a terrible driving front and real solid axles to tackle terrain that only 1% of owners actually go to? or understand that the market wants a mall crawler SUV with good milage that has a removable roof that they...
I think the biggest problem facing ford is this car doesnt really look anything like the bronco in any way from purely a branding perspective. Maybe if they added that sick red pinstripe livery or something it could help. But other than that it looks like a wrangler. Which isnt bad , it will...
