Three reasons I can think of for having it based on the Bronco: looks, removable roof, and the available manual transmission.

Verified at work today...full size has 230K reservations. Production was supposed to cut off at 80k. Ford is thinking twice and ramping up the factories. Also the big wings are discussing adapting the manual trans to the V6, so that is likely coming soon.

Their net income last year was $47 million, a 99% decline from 2018's $3.7 billion and a huge hit from 2017's $7.7 billion. This year won't be good for most automakers and Ford is already on shaky ground to begin with. A $3.5 billion investment from Argo AI helped its Q2 earnings, but without it, it would've suffered a $1.9 billion loss, prior to that Q1's saw a $2 billion loss.
Ford needs a home run, especially after is botched the Explorer's release so badly.
What saves Ford is the F-Series by a country mile. Without it, the company would've folded long ago.

If you ask me, half of this is because everything that are making is such piss-poor quality that people are catching on and buying elsewhere. The Sync systems are an absolute joke and the amount of EcoBoost engines we replace under warranty is sickening. I currently have 6 Escapes sitting in the parking lot awaiting short blocks. They buy back an astounding number of vehicles and sometimes for the littlest things. It's even affected me personally, my sister bought a new Fusion and is having nothing but problems with it.
I love my Fords as everyone here knows, but damn. They need to figure stuff out. I think it's starting to show in the sales numbers.

Videos of pre-production Broncos being tested in Moab has been put on Youtube by a channel called The Bronco Nation. It's look good so far; looks like it's got some serious off-roading capability.

This is how you get a hype train moving.

Yes but I figured with the Bronco badge on the car it would be at a Subaru level atleast.

Good to know it's not just a Re bodied Escape with no differences, would be an ideal SUV for the snowy states.

I normally don't like yellow paint at all. I make a few exceptions:
Competition Yellow Mica (FD RX-7)
Giallo Evros (Lamborghini)
Cyber Orange - The Bronco [I know it says orange, but it looks yellow to me]

Sport is certainly looking better the more times that I see videos on it. I am certainly not an SUV guy though.
If I had money just to toss around would be interested in 2 door regular Bronco diamond addition. Even though I know that I would not use even half of its off road capabilities.
I am in search of a new or mostly new ride that can do most things and last hopefully last 10 years. Just have not really started to narrow down my choices.

You know, I am actually starting to like the new Ford Bronco. That's even if to say you have a capable off-roader that isn't a Jeep. It has a fairly bold personality. While I don't consider myself any real off-road truck fan or off-road truck enthusiast, I do think this Bronco is more than capable.

This is pretty hilarious.

I was expecting something like this. The Wrangler is one of FCA's biggest cash cows and every Bronco sale is one less Jeep sale (to a certain extent). The most likely result in my eyes is some lost market share and some aggressive pricing on the part of FCA to retain it. I can imagine a 26k base Wrangler to fight off the Bronco.

I think they may have to do more than that. At least around here, there are plenty of off-lease Wranglers at or below the $26k price point that haven't been moving that much. Wouldn't surprise me if they started offering some absurdly generous financing to keep people's attention.

I thought the new Yellow Supra's pretty sweet. And Speed Yellow on 911s are always awesome.
And this is why you should never be that specific about your projects on your LinkedIn.
