Looks like a International Scout from the early 1970's.

I think they look great....

Out of my price range but, for folks that can afford them, go for it....

I am very much so looking forward to them getting cheap enough for me to not feel bad hacking one up in ~8-10 years...

Looks more like a newer Toyota FJ, terrible.

I like them but will never buy one. Too much $ for an IFS 4x4. I think they will sell a ton of them but hard core off roaders will still go with the solid axle Wranglers so they can do big lifts and tires.

On the other hand, I'm sure shops will offer SAS's on the new Bronco which would be pretty cool to see.

As others have said, looking forward to several years down the road when you can pick one up cheap then mod the hell out of it.

Same. Not interesting to me at all. I dunno that this is going to sell like they think. 2 doors don't sell like they used to, especially not 2 door SUVs.

They aren't bad. The ones fitted with the Sasquatch package will look good. Would I trade me Jeep Gladiator for one? Hell no.

They doubled the production of their one year only "First Edition" top tier trim level and those sold out immediately too...

PT Cruiser was the hot ticket when it first came out, too.

They have both 2 door and 4 door options on the Bronco. For this reason, I think it's going to sell very well....... it's been long anticipated and I think Ford did a pretty good job with a number of trim levels to attract a broad range of prospective buyers.

I think they look pretty sweet, But it needs a Chevy heart to be great. I definitely think ford did a better job on the design of the broncos than Chevy did for the blazer though... The new blazer should have an SS option to have the LT1 put in it.

The new “Chevy” Blazer is on the opposite end of greatness. A “Chevy” 6 cylinder in a Ford Bronco? WTH are you saying? That would ruin what is going to be a pretty damn good vehicle. FORD is continuing to make cool stuff. Dodge is continuing to make cool stuff. “Chevy” has the C8 and the Camaro, thats it.
