But the bronco isn't priced like a luxury car, it's relatively affordable
Luxury cars don't start under 30k
I think you guys are right that many consumers may be dissatisfied with the compromise made to create a good off road vehicle when compared to a crv or RAV4
I'm probably going to be...
The main reason is that nobody would actually buy it
It costs money to certify a trans/engine combo and it's not cheap.
People on forums love to whine about manual transmission dying, but not enough of them open their wallets and buy new vehicles.
I've only owned manual vehicles but man...
I'm all about trying to minimize automotive transactions, every time you do something it costs you money
I just don't want you to get messed up if ford delays, 1 car with a wife and kid sounds like a recipe for a lot of yelling
And in the unlikely possibility that the bronco sucks, you won't...
While looking at other Ford's may give clues as to the upgrade cost there are other factors
Ford tried really hard to keep base price under 30k, that could mean they are selling that one particular configuration at lower margin just to hit that target
They may be increasing the profit margin...
Buy the outback, don't extend lease
You want to solve problems not delay them and you could easily get screwed up if ford delays your bronco. With a brand new product and the whole pandemic thing it's really likely that ford is slow on deliveries
Outbacks are very desirable and will be easy...
I guess we will find out soon enough
It certainly seems that the body color top would be a premium option vs the mic top. Mic doesn't need paint and with every truck getting the same color it's logistically easier than 11 colors to paint
Yeah, it is a little squirrelly with all the different models and trims and the information from Ford has been spotty
The 4 door doors go in bags left to right (like a fwd engine) in a vertical position. The longer 2 door doors are too long for the width of the bronco.
Some are probably...
One nice thing about the molded in color top vs a painted too. It'll greatly reduced how long it takes to wash and wax it
Not having to worry about water spots on the top is sweet
They really shouldn't use the same name for gloss body paint and a matte molded in plastic color. That's almost...
The cost of the high package will be interesting,
It seems like there's much less included in high vs the mid and lux
High is basically the big screen and sound deadedning
OBX with motor and high, I'm guessing will be 44k ish
Oh I'm certain there's a reason, it's not like ford just gave the 2 door poor storage just to be jerks
The overall issue is the stuff that will make the bronco good off road are the same things that make it worse for the majority of customers who aren't off roading. The fuel economy, the ride...
People don't buy color, white black and gray only
Look around any parking lot, it's depressing
Some makers offer like 4 different grays for the same car
Porsche also will literally paint the car any color you want, and let you choose between 6 colors of seatbelts. Or if you want leather covered air vents they can do that too
Ford doesn't make enough profit to offer what Porsche can do
You pay more, you get more choices, a 50k truck is mass market.
Just petty stuff that makes the bronco cost more than it has to
Is the Goodyear Wrangler an epic highly rated tire?
There's plenty of other brands of tires out there
Am I alone or do the two Goodyear logos look not quite 180 degrees apart from each other. It's not drastic but they don't...
Someone measured roughly the distance from back of front seat to rear gate and it was roughly 48 inches
I'm thinking that's dangerously close to fitting s 58cm roadbike with front wheel removed
Wife's focus had it, had button in headliner above mirror to cycle through the colors.
It was actually a pretty tacky feature, reminded me of bad tuner car underbody neon
