Exclusive: Is The Genesis Magma GT Just A C8 Corvette Underneath?
I was just reading this article too. Definitely seems like that's what they did. Some of the things like tires you could say "meh ok they ordered the same ones", but with some of the other items, it seems like that's all they did. Which for a concept, I guess isn't a big deal, though still weird.
The internet blows everything bad out of proportion. People don't generally go on forums to post about how great their car is, but it's the first place they go when they have a problem.
Eh the Bronco base model starts at 39K already and I don't see any real advantage of selling it for less then the SUV variant, assuming its on the T6. So it wouldn't fit IMO in the sub 40 mark, esp in another 3-4 years from now because we will still have a minimum of 2-3% inflation.
But your making assumptions about choices Ford made with their engine program and are suggesting they could have done better without actually know what the goals and constraints of that program was.
You could possibly do something better with unlimited time and money, but that doesn't exist in a real world.
If BORG is accurate, it's a bronco BOF truck to replace the ranger. If this holds true, I think the bronco truck will be "affordable" in the sense of being in like the low 40s and relatively affordable as far as passion products go.
