The design needs a little 'tweaking'.
I like the direction that this vehicle is going. Personally, I think that ALL of the manufacturers have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many designs.
The 'luxury' SUVs. . . . don't need 'em. (Whether it's Ford OR GM.)
For me. . . bring back a pre '78 Bronco (even retro look) and I'll buy one in a second!
Removable top (with a REAL rollbar).
Put a 4.6 mod motor or a 300 I6 in it, solid front and rear axles, auto (C-6 preferably) and it's mine!!!

It would be like Ford saying that they are going to stop making regular cab F-150s in order to make room in the market for SuperCabs...INSANITY!
In my opinion, dumping the regular cab F-150s would be as big of a mistake as dropping the Bronco was.

Those look like the figures for the '89-'97 t-bird/cougar, two-door, pretty heavy car, not much interest.

If they bring out a small Bronco, at least give it options to compete with Jeep. The style does not mean as much as available options that would do the name plate proud such as low geared transfer cases, front and rear lockers or limited slips, ground clearance, or even a 4 cyl diesel, etc.

4 Wheel and Off Road used a plain-jane, Bronco XL with a 300 and automatic for their comparison vehicle when testing other 4x4's...does that tell you anything?
That long stroke 300 was a sweetheart...dad had one in his 1981 F-100 and it was a monster...wouldn't ever die...tore up clutches like they were tissue, but the engine was bullet-proof.
