According to Bill Ford, sales increased 5.3% from last year and F-series picked up 2.4 points of market share. https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/columnists/carol-cain/2020/06/13/bill-ford-motor-company-coronavirus-covid-19/3177229001/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea which makes it kinda weird that they're going to take orders for the Sport before even officially showing it and giving specs / pricing.

That is very weird. I guess they think they have the 1964 Mustang coming and people will line up around the block waiting to get their hands on one no matter what trim line or color it is.

Simpson’s Birthday https://www.carscoops.com/2020/06/the-2021-ford-bronco-debuts-on-july-9th-o-j-simpsons-birthday/ Nicole Brown Simpson's sister Tanya commented to Detroit Free Press about this. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/06/18/ford-bronco-release-date-oj-simpson/3204513001/ Tanya Brown didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she learned that Ford Motor Co. planned to reveal the all-new Ford Bronco on July 9. "Is that on purpose?" she asked. "My first reaction was, 'are you kidding me? This is funny?' " The Brown family is surprised the world premiere of the popular SUV falls on the birthday of former football star Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson, who led police on a slow-speed chase in a Ford Bronco through Los Angeles after the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. "I just don't know if it's a good marketing twist," Tanya Brown, Nicole's sister, told the Free Press. The timing was "purely coincidental," a Ford spokesman said. Tanya Brown wondered whether people realize that the case also involved domestic violence. In fact, the domestic abuse of Nicole Brown Simpson created a national outpouring that has endured all these years. "Thousands, I can't tell you, thousands of letters came to our home," Tanya Brown said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they could have spun it as we wanted to show it to everyone early, instead of we're delaying because of this negative date connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are advertising types who will tell you that any publicity is good publicity. There are now millions of ordinary people out there, who don't follow cars, who now know that a new Bronco is on the way. And now that Ford has changed the reveal date, the "controversy" is over.

Bungling is putting it mildly! But it's good if Ford took Tanya Brown's concerns seriously in making this change. July 13 marks the birthday of these famous people.

jpd80 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) As I said earlier, Ford puts out the date only and let's social media do the rest and if the date is too controversial, they claim coincidence and move it. Hard to believe that Ford didn't do a quick Google search of July 9, coincedence my ass.....they wanted people talking about it and also wanted to be seen as sensitive to the Brown family....win,win, win.
