According to Wikipedia, they're the largest independent MB tuner, second only to MB's own AMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the Bronco Sport will launch this year and the Bronco will not launch until 2021 making it a 2022MY vehicle. Not true at all. PP builds are slated to start sometime in August.

Still camoed, but reveals a bit more of its shape since it’s lost a lot of the padding. Ground clearance looks pretty good. If this thing is priced right, I think it’s gonna be a big seller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K270 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Not much more to see here. Just the cameo Bronco alongside a Jeep https://www.autoblog.com/photos/2021-ford-bronco-vs-jk-jeep-wrangler/#slide-2212850 The is the article from the Yahoo news page: Ford's Bronco prototypes are being spotted all over the Detroit metro area, but this is the first time a set of photos has captured one alongside its chief rival — the Jeep Wrangler. If you want new mechanical details, you're going to be disappointed, as there are no close-up shots here, but we do get a sense of what to expect from the Bronco's dimensions. Unfortunately, we don't get a direct comparison here. The pictured Jeep appears to be a JK model (the Wrangler generation that went out of production after the 2018 model year) and, on top of that, it's merely a two-door. On the flip side, however, we benefit from the fact that Jeep doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel every time a new Wrangler hits the market. The new JL model is larger than before, certainly, but its wheelbase only increased by about an inch. In the photos that depict them almost side-by-side, we see that the two are pretty darned close in terms of the dimensions we can directly compare — namely height and width. The Jeep looks a bit more squared-off, giving the impression that it's wider. This impression is encouraged by the Jeep's boxy fenders, which the Bronco lacks. The Bronco, sitting lower relative to the Jeep thanks to the crown in the road, also appears taller. Part of that is likely due to the complex camouflage being used to disguise its roof, which we've yet to see uncovered. This particular JK is a Willys Wheeler, which wasn't all that mechanically unique, but it did sport the larger tires from the range-topping Rubicon model. By comparison, this four-door Bronco's street tires look pretty wimpy, but we've already seen what we assume to be the Bronco's Rubicon equivalent being tested in the great outdoors, so we know Ford has more up its sleeve than what we see here. Like we said, it's not perfect, but it gives us a glimpse of what to expect when the Bronco is formally unveiled in March.

jpd80 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Well I'll be damned, I'm still learning to drive an iPad and blow up images. Must be a base model as I've only ever seen it with flares and bigger wheels. Thiscwill get more interesting as they peel back more of the Camo.

02MustangGT Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Someone posted a couple of partial photos of the Bronco on Bronco6g.
