Huh... Maybe lead water is a natural anti-corona agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood the attraction to that generation. It looked like someone took a straight edge and carved a block of cheese on the outside and the inside was a sea of hard plastic. I did really like the 2010 refresh though. It’s almost as if they spent more time on that then the entirety of the 2005 car. It was actually styled, it looked properly aggressive, the body had character rather than being slab sided. The interior was worlds better. It’s honestly what the 2005 car should have been.

I thought the 05-09 had a much more cohesive design than the refreshes in 10 and 13. I agree the the interior improvements were nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older Bronco will be wider though. I'm not sure what your point is supposed to be. If you park any Escape next to any '77-'96 Bronco, nobody with normal eyesight is going to look at them and say, "wow, that Escape is almost as big as that Bronco!" because it ain't. It's not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Is the bronco going to have 3 or 2 rear seats? Might get kind of tight if they try to squeeze 3 back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I can see how the extra seat can sometimes be bennificial, I think I'd prefer 2 larger more comfortable rear seats. That would actually be kind of a cool option to offer.
