I would like a fixed-top Bronco also.  My only complaint about ours is the wind noise from the removable top, that we'll likely only take off a couple times a year.  I could see us trading the Mach E in on a Lincoln or fixed-top version in a few years.  My wife wants a 4 door as she loves the seating position of the Bronco much better than the Mach E.  I don't see our 2 door going anywhere for a long time, so the Mach E would be the unlucky one out.  Make it a BEV and the decision to trade is much much easier.

 

I think the "easy" way to do a Lincoln based on Bronco would be:

1) all new body panels and interior for a completely unique look

2) a jeep Skytop like setup where the shell is permanently in place (with additional sound deadening and interior panels to cover it all), with a retractable glass roof (fabric wouldn't work for a Lincoln)......the doors would probably no longer be removable as well, as you'd want additional sound deadening in them, meaning thicker, heavier doors.

 

The question would be whether you could get the quality needed for a Lincoln product, and "hide" the bones well enough.....I'd imagine it'd be difficult to restructure the roll cage in a more normal layout for a product like this, plus that'd add a lot of extra cost for something that would sell 1-2k per month, in line with other Lincoln models.

Since the Autoblog ownership change, I don't even bother checking the site anymore. 

 

Yeah, I think there still are some "real" articles there, but you can tell the fake ones that all use the same format.  Their clickbait article titles like "New model XYZ: 4 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to avoid" or "new model xyz: here's what you should look at instead" are stupid too.

Which is annoying as hell, the Mustang has had that for 20 years and I’ve rarely ever heard complaints about it. 

 

Yeah, I can't understand why they have so many issues....I think part of it just the height of the windows (for the rattling issues when opening the door or going over bumps with it partially opened.  But there are definitely some goofy things with the programming....I have to reset a window (often the passenger rear door, but sometimes the driver door) every few months because it forgets to do the drop feature and then closes improperly.  I have a permanent tab open on my phone with the procedure to reset them.

The Everest is not coming here. Period.

 

You didn't understand his suggestion.  He was suggesting instead of doing a ton of effort to completely redo Bronco to make it "Lincoln worthy" with a fixed roof, to just start with Everest as a starting point, since it's already fixed roof/a normal body structure.

I get it. Everest is not coming in any way shape or form to North America. Period.

 

It's too bad because it is a really sweet rig.

The Falcon was pretty cool too. But like the Falcon it’s a generation behind in styling. Put a Ranger front on a fifteen year old Durango and BOOM you get an Everest.

I asked ChatGPT to put an Everest front end on a Durango and Durango front end on Everest. (In fairness ChatGPT could have cheated, but you get the point)

I had my 2006 Mustang GT for 11 years and my Bronco doors have screwed up more in the past 3 years (even not driving it everyday to boot) then Mustang windows did. I think I had it happen maybe a half a dozen times in 11 years. 

It happened once on my 2005 Mustang in 13 years.  It has not happened on my 2018 Mustang.  It has happened once with my brother’s Bronco.
