I've never owned a new car before. Never even bought one off the lot in my 40 years of living. Just buy old cars, or family hand me downs when they wanted something new. I'm the furthest from a car enthusiast that you will find. When the Bronco was announced I was in love. My wife saw this and...
The lack of understanding this represents the majority of the frustration I read in comments on here.
That said, it's refreshing to see companies like Tesla and Rivian start to eliminate a very unnecessary and frustrating part of the auto industry and this point.
I'll see your 17 year old Tacoma and raise you a 35 year old F-150. I've always just bought old cars and ran them for 6 months to a couple years.
I told a buddy I ordered a Bronco and he was incredulous that I would buy a car without driving it first. I reminded him of my current vehicle.

I have never owned a new car in my 40 years of living, this will be my first. I drive a 1986 F-150.
My dealer has switched my contact person 3 times (which makes sense, I would expect a large amount of turnovers considering the state of the industry right now). So I have no confidence in anything.
Area 51 not a good contrast either. Plus, the tires are way too big. Makes me think that the white top Velocity Blue Outer Banks with some old school steelies that I have planned (you know, should I ever actually get my Bronco) will be just fine.
