Went to Tennessee today an got to see several Broncos! I got there too late to get a ride in one :-(
Things I really liked:

Would really like to see a new bronco!
I don't have a Bronco (yet) but can drive my Ford Flex
After trying to justify the OBX... I broke down and changed my order today! Switched to the Badlands. 1st reason - 33" tires, 2nd Black interior. To keep costs down, I dropped the leather and lost the 6-way seats, but my build now has NONE of the 6 delayed features. Here's hoping for a...
