RadicalX Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 1 minute ago, MKII said: Maverick outside of North America. Last year I read from a Spanish news outlet that Ford was calling a new engine Maverick that would be built in Spain. Not sure what happened to this engine, I have not read anymore about it. I don't like Maverick for Baby Bronco's name. It's like naming a MPV, because Fusion was a MPV in the 00s in Europe. Maverick has a legacy as a coupé.

RadicalX Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) But if it's a Maverick engine, I don't see any problem. I didn't know Ford still produced engines in Spain. Edited August 6, 2019 by RadicalX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So there is another 2L Ecoboost coming out development name of Maverick? I wonder what is different about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I seriously do not understand why everybody seems to have a "hard on" for the Maverick name....they could always call the Baby Bronco the Pinto which IS another horse name... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick wouldn’t be my first choice, scout would be, followed by bronco sport, then maverick. All of those are better than adventurer though. I only ever mentioned maverick because it was mentioned in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry, though. I can pretty much guarantee that the Pinto name will not be on a Ford for a very, very long time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausrutherford Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 What is with the "Maverick is a coupe" argument? The Maverick was also sold as a sedan in North America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 On a slightly different yet tangentially related subject, I heard a rumor last night, and I can't stress enough that this is an unfounded rumor, that we could see the Bronco make its debut sometime late October/early November. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would make sense with the smaller Bronco timing-might as well show both off at the same time so you have the foundation of the Bronco sub brand and remove any trolling with people saying oh the fucked the Bronco up due to terminal stupidity on the internet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Looks like Ford is going to start amping up the Bronco to build excitement for the new ones coming out-seems like its a good thing to channel since the Bronco can become something just like the Mustang is to Ford. https://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/media-room/2019/08/bronco-at-dream-cruise.html?cks=14443020821&emailid=FP_FASTNEWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea! Show them both, and then have a third mystery Bronco model wrapped in canvas indicating a future release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nearly identical one of these was in my local Menard's parking lot earlier this week when I stopped there,,,,, HRG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
