The "Big" 1990s Broncos are roughly the same length as a 2020 Escape-183 vs 180. The older Bronco will be wider though. I'd expect the 4 door 2021 Bronco to be about 190 overall length and the 2 door to be similar to the old 1990 Bronco. It will be a little more narrower also. Cars/trucks have grown quite a bit since the 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Re: Retro vs. Modern They want Bronco to not just stick around... but to grow into a rather comprehensive brand. We saw with the 2005 Mustang, Flex, first of the New Beetles, PT Cruiser, HHR, etc, that retro vehicles are nearly impossible to update. I told you all a while ago that the most apt comparison for Bronco's design direction is the 2015 Mustang. A thoroughly and decidedly modern design that flexes its heritage in just the right spots. I told you they weren't screwing around with this. Can't wait. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailhiker Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Oh, now I see, the one with the slanted rollbar is a 4-door, while the 2-door has the upright rollbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The 2005 mustang was UGLY... the previous gen was so much nicer. The current one was nice too when it started out, I like some of the 2016s I've seen for sale, but some of the newer ones, IDK if they updated the bodies but I don't like them as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, could you imagine if the door cutline was there? The door would be a foot and a half long and totally over the rear wheel. Grandma might have issues getting in the backseat. ? From what I'm seeing so far, it is looking great. While boxes will look like other boxes, the styling is different enough from the design of the Wrangler to stand out on its own.

Anthony Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think so far this is my favorite part of the design...Even though it won't have a fold down tailgate, they left that "look" of being the back of a "pickup truck" like the early Broncos. They integrated the taillights vertically just it would be done on a pickup, unlike Wrangler with the "bolted" on look of their square taillights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that has to do with blindspot monitoring and the track being wider than the body. The same is likely true of Bronco, 'cuz that light looks like it stands out from the body, just in a less tacky way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF are you talking about? the 99-04 Mustang was one of the worst styled Mustangs ever-They where applying the new Edge look (which aged horribly) to a mid 1990s retro design that was rounded and left the effing roof outline exactly on the 99-04 cars that had nothing but hard straight lines to it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retro Mustang goes back to 1994-5-that was first Mustang to really reach back to the 1960s for styling cues. The Mustang was following its own path styling wise since 1979 or so previously. The 2005 model was more or less a modernized 68-69 MY The 911 more or less pulls of its retro design since its been introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018MY lost something to it. Only like the Shelby models because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzach Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I actually like straight lines better, love Ford '70's styling, however to me 2015 - 2017 >> 2018 - 2020 >> 2013 - 2014 >> 2005 -2009 >> 2010 - 2012 >>1979 - 1993 >>>> 1994-1998 >> 1999-2004.

I loved it back them but in hind site, it was pretty ugly and bloated. Much prefer the latest iterations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
