Next generation Bronco

I know some of you guys have seen the Bronco concept that came out a not long ago....it was super cool. I read that Ford was judging public reaction to decide if they were going to make it. From what I heard it was a big hit. I also read a small blurb in Truck Trend that Ford was going to make it and was just deciding on what platform to build it on. But I have not heard a thing since then. Anyone heard anythink new on the new Bronco?

I think it looks sweet but thats my opinion. If they start making it a production modle then I bet thell change some things for cost efficiency.

Can we say HUMMER!.. If ford doesn't change the looks back to a regular cab superduty with a bed just big enough for a seat and some cargo room, and weld a top on it. I won't be buying one...

Because I'd put in a retractable canvas roof. This gives you greater strength for off roading.

Sorry. I think that thing looks like s---, and has nothing in common with a real bronco.

It kind of looks like a cross between a honda element and and one of those scion brick things.

I'll reserve judgement till I see the production models as well. For right now I'd have to say U.G.L.Y.

I would like to see it built on a shortened F-250 frame. Solid axles, superstrong frame, and would you like a V8, V10, or Diesel?

I am thinking ford needs to go back to the EB's as far as size, put a solid front and rear axle, explorer sized, 5.4L power, 5 speed stick, or auto, at least a rear locker, and factory 33's.

I love it, but needs removable top like the pre 78's with a roll cage. A light small block v-8 or I-6, solid axles with either e locker or cable locker.

I think the new Bronco look's very retro (like the first generation Bronco's). As far as styling it after the 150/250 forget it, Ford really needs to change styling on it's models, everything is looking the same truckwise Ranger/150/250/350 right up to the 750 one is just a little larger than the other. I have worked at Ford for 23 years building trucks and vans and I think they need new designers and get new different models that the public want. Bill Ford really needs to get his head out of his butt and start getting new cars and trucks out faster or there might not be a Ford vehicle line at all considering the market share we keep lossing because upper management drags there feet.
