Yeah that new GM logo.....yikes.

I’m sure they spent millions with focus groups and a marketing firm to come up with that preschool looking bullshit. Such a fail.

Speaking of Ford Trucks. What do you think of the upcoming Maverick? Unibody based and smaller than Ranger (perhaps maybe the size of the last Ranger).

Did you not see the meme? This is the same company that is branding an electric SUV a Mustang.

I think you have it backwards. The Bronco Sport is fair looking and is a huge improvement over the Escape it is based on. That Kia Soul is Fugly.

The Mavericks and Comets were nothing to get excited about. I've got no problem with Ford using the name for a new product.


Those looking for Bronco and Bronco Sport content might consider checking out the Bronco Nation YouTube Channel. The videos say they aren't affiliated with Ford but they sure get a lot of access to, prototype and pre-production models and Ford staff.

Couple of their videos below.

Fully loaded too, I see. I hate that dealers never get mid-level trim units for their first deliveries. Had the same problem when trying to buy my Ranger.

I can't imagine why a dealer loading up on well promoted, apparently high demand new models wouldn't buy fully upgraded models for the first go around.

I love the Kia Soul. I wouldn't own one, but I'm not 22 either. We have the Kia HQ down here in Irvine, and I was at a gas station when one showed up. 50-60 something guy driving it (factory car, not his).

But it was a cool car.

Mary Barra probably dislocated her shoulder patting herself on the back for that one.

Embarrassing.

So the 2021 Ranger B&P tool finally went live and quite frankly, I'd rather have the Tremor package 4X4 over a Bronco. YMMV.

That's a pretty good looking truck.

Despite it being from the neolithic, I love the look of the modern 4x4 Tacomas, especially with the new "khaki" brown, gray, and blue paint schemes.

Tone down the options there, bud. :laughing

I managed it to just over $40K and through Costco I'd pay less than invoice anyway. :thumbup

If I'm going to get something new, I'm going to get something fancy.

I've been driving my temporary truck for almost 9 years now. :laughing

Mr. Dual Sport Rider
I placed the order for my Bronco yesterday. For a vehicle listed at under $30K, it sure didn't take much to get it over $40k. :(

I ordered base with Sasquatch and about $1500 worth of minor options like floor mats, sound deadening, and a roof rack. You can't currently get a manual transmission with Sasquatch, so that automatically adds $1600. And of course, sales tax gets added in too. At least I have a long time to come up with the money for it. :laughing

Nobody knows when it will actually show up. I figure that it's more than six months off.
