Bronco II was 2WD so its perfectly acceptable for Bronco Sport to be FWD.

Zephyr is cool, but I don’t think this vehicle will be a sedan.

If you ask the guys over at 6g, they are not competition because the roof doesn’t come off 🙄. Jokes aside, I would have probably bought an everest over my bronco if it was cheaper. Toyota also doesn’t seem to mind having 2 off-road SUVs in their line up that are roughly the same size.

Equator sport looks better and the interior isn’t bad either. If this was sold here for 29k, it would do well. Would still rather have the Everest though.

Rear traffic alert along with the back up camera works fine for me. Never had a vehicle with the braking too.

Looks pretty similar to the explorer although it’s probably a bit smaller.

I was going to say the same thing. I wonder what has been cut? With tax credits gone, is keeping the price the same enough? I would have hoped for lower prices.

I like it. Seems like the next iteration of Lincoln’s full width screens. I like big screens though and don’t mind the tablet look either.

I see what you are saying, but when I was growing up, SVT was on all the cool vehicles, so I probably like it more for nostalgia reasons more than anything else. it reminds me of the performance trims of other brands: dodge SRT bmw M mercedes AMG Toyota GR Hyundai N

Your comparison doesn’t make sense. it should be this: SVT raptor vs ford racing raptor SVT lightning vs ford racing lightning SVT cobra vs ford racing cobra In your example, you are replacing raptor with SVT, and that’s not how it was done in the past. It was the SVT raptor, not SVT F150.

I like it too. However, I’m afraid Honda will price it too high and it will flop. One article I read said it was priced more than a base Nissan Z in Japan. Who knows what it will be priced here, but if it’s in the same ball park as the Z, I’m probably taking the Z since it has double the hp.

I think it would be cool if ford did a true successor to the Daytona coupe. It’s always been my favorite car, and I think it would be cool if ford would switch between making the GT and Daytona every few years. There is precedent since ford made the Shelby gr1 concept several years back. Do I believe this will actually happen? No, but my best guess is some mustang variant. Maybe the GT500, maybe the RTR mustang. I’m guessing it’s nothing related to CE1 though.

SVT has always been my favorite. I’d love to see it come back again. Never cared for SVO. Ford Performance and Ford Racing have always sounded like aftermarket parts to me. SVT just sounded cool and people would include it in the name, SVT cobra, SVT lightning, etc, but I’ve never heard anyone say “here’s my ford performance raptor”, and no one will say that with ford racing either. Like rmc said, it doesn’t really matter though.

I’ve always liked that ms rt ranger. I think something like that would do well over here. Nice to see they added the phev.

I think everyone’s first thought was jaguar, mine too. I think this is slightly better, but not by much.

Minus the GT would you say the rest of the mach e’s are super fast? Or are they more average and in line with other EVs? The vast majority of Mach Es are premium and select trims and have 0-60 in the 5 to 6 second range. My point with saying all of that is that there is nothing special about the mach e that would prevent it from being built on CE1 using everything that has been learned from skunkworks and make it more affordable.

What does the mach e have that these new EVs won’t? Mach e is about the size of the escape so it’s a compact SUV just like ce1. It’s not super fast and doesn’t have exceptional range, just like ce1. I’m not seeing many reasons why mach e couldn’t be ce1 and be much cheaper.

I was talking more like a smaller appearance package that costs like $1000 and basically gets you a new set of wheels and a sportier grille (ranger sport appearance or black appearance are examples). ST line would be roughly 7k more than this new active base trim. That’s a big jump for someone who was looking to buy the base trim.

After seeing how jeep does things with the wrangler, I don’t think anyone was expecting a normal refresh cycle with the bronco. It’s good for the after market companies. I think we will see some updates to parts that are easily changed. Wheels and grilles are cheap and easy changes that can change the look of a vehicle. Maybe some interiors changes too.

I don’t really care about any of the stuff they removed from the explorer so I welcome the cost savings. Add a sport appearance package to give it better wheels and grille and it would probably be the one I would buy. The expedition looks much better with the painted liftgate. Still not sure why they didn’t do this from the get go. However now the side windows don’t line up with the rear window. Looks like there might be some black trim of the side windows that the rear window doesn’t have.

The bolt is a turd too. The bolt ev and euv sold around 60k combined in 2023. Not exactly setting the world on fire. And let’s not forget that the bolts price was around $22k after tax credits. Mustang Mach E sold 40k in 2023 and it was probably selling for twice as much.

This leaf looks very similar to the VW ID.5. I don’t think it will do to well. Some might buy it because it’s cheaper, but it still needs to look good.

Nothing special here. Very boring and underwhelming in every way possible.

I like it but the mach e did a much better job hiding it’s silhouette.

What you are saying here is the exact reason I question ford’s decision to do a truck first. An SUV or sedan would have seemed better, but maybe they want to be the first with a compact ev truck. People who buy entry level vehicles tend to cross shop all vehicles in their price range and look see which vehicle gives them the best bang for their buck. Since this will be priced similarly to the maverick and with similar size, I have no doubt they will be cross-shopped. Now ford could differentiate it by making it well equipped (no steelies or plastic body panels like the maverick xl has, good amount of tech, etc) and still come in at the 30k price. That would make it stand out against the maverick.
