rmc523 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Interesting it gets a liftglass. Ford had moved away from that on everything but Expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I like it but the badging is a bit much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Its the 2010 Escape styling redone for 2021 with a dose of Range Rover styling for good measure. I think the color combo is freaking terrible and I'm not sure what I think of the grill/headlight surround. It looks weird to me, but it might because of the hood being popped. So when the hell will we see the real bronco!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev-Mo Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 That color is very popular on all the Toyota's and Subaru's I have to park among at my office. Glad to see some cool color offerings possibly coming forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) There's your next-generation Flex! That is a sexy looking vehicle, even I like that. I wonder if this is the UFO color... I think I remember that one looking blue-ish. Edited March 9, 2020 by probowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I kind of feel bad for Ford though... I don't think intended to leak it like this, not this much... Totally kills the reveal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it looks bad either-I like it for the most part, just that the grill and the color combo don't seem to be doing it justice Whats up with the tires? They look fake for some reason-completely devoid of any sidewall markings and are shiny as hell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offroad Ready Dirt-Certified TrailMaster Rock Ready KOH (King of hammers something?? I doubt this but IDK!) Adventure Ready Trail -Certified Or maybe it just simply says Bronco? Part of the new branding or something. Although I'd think the main logo would be the horse. Edited March 9, 2020 by probowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’m actually a bit disappointed by this. This looks to have been toned down quite a bit from the leaked pics. It doesn’t even look rugged. im starting to think the two vehicle strategy (escape, bronco sport) was a bad idea. This thing in its form in the picture looks pedestrian enough to be mainstream and sell more than the escape. With a few mods and off-road goodies, it could be turned in to a better looking off-roader. bronco sport on the tailgate needs to go too.

We saw it last year already, so they probably don't care about Bronco Sport leaks as much as they do about Bronco. 7 minutes ago, silvrsvt said: No-The Sport is next Month at the NYIAS...the Bronco is sometime this month I don't think it looks bad either-I like it for the most part, just that the grill and the color combo don't seem to be doing it justice Whats up with the tires?

Yeah, something's odd with the tires - they have like no tread too. 5 minutes ago, silvrsvt said: I also wonder what the decal on the door is Someone over at Bronco6g was saying it could be something like a shipping symbol?

A few thoughts - 1) it looks identical to the leaked ones, and 2) this could be a lower trim model as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison: The big changes are the headlight ring looks a bit smaller, and it says BRONCO in the grille instead of the earlier images saying FORD.

Anthony Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Looks fine to me and no surprises...it looks just like the dealer one from forever ago (though the grille is a bit too much closed-off gray plastic). Otherwise looks good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the body work IS pretty much identical, but the stance is completely different. Maybe it’s just the angles of the pictures, but the leaked ones look to have much larger tires and possibly a lift. As you said though we could be looking at a lower vs higher trim.

probowler Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It occurs to me that they couldn't be bothered to install hood stuts. They kinda cheaped out on that part. I wonder if this has the hands-free lift-gate opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005Explorer Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh that's cute! It really looks like the true replacement for the boxy '08-'12 Escape. So much better looking than the new Escape. I like it! I wouldn't be surprised unless way over priced it'll outsell the new Escape 2 to 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had a 2013 Escape and loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
