The Bronco Sport is the Bronco Escape. If anything a small truck would be the 3rd vehicle in a “Bronco” brand lineup. Spinning off a completely separate brand doesn’t really fit with Ford though. I’m sure it will work fine being a sub-brand like “ST” or “RS”, where vehicles have to meet certain targets to be worthy of…

Erin lives in the area and Tracey is in Germany at the moment, and why risk flying Andrew all the way out?

The 4 cyl never felt underpowered to me. I never understood why people in tall offroaders want 1000 horsepower anyway.

Its already been said but Ford absolutely wanted a real bronco first. The engineering challenge was much tougher hence the time its taken to iron out all the little things. New things like removable doors and roof take time to get through a company with massive bureaucracy.

There isn’t a lot of rock crawling in Dearborn....

You know there is FLUORIDE in the water right? 

Welcome back! You’ve been suspiciously busy during your absence. Rich Energy is just the gift that keeps on giving!

I’m glad they’re making a second season of the show, but idk if that warrants a whole racecar...

There is a whole tier system for driver training, only the highest tiers get to do the fun track work, i’m guessing its some of those guys on a trail like this. Unless the testing is being done by a 3rd party, then they’ll let anyone do it. I met a 20 year old college kid interning for Roush over the summer. He got to…

Its crazy to me that Fields was groomed for the CEO position for so long, and then cut loose so quickly. If you ever wander around a Ford building, its chock full of Steelcase furniture. They are in the middle of a building refit actually, so they’re buying even MORE Steelcase furniture...Maybe Hackett’s whole shtick…

Hackett actually held the top job at Steelcase for 20 years. He only got the top Job at Ford because Fields imploded and he was the last guy still sitting in the board room when the dust settled. I think Bill brought him in to make the hard decisions on sedans, Electrification, autonomous etc. If it didn’t work out…

Jim Farley is actually Chris Farley’s cousin.

Don’t forget Hackett also ran the athletic department at the University of Michigan, and if there is one thing Michiganders love more than life itself its U of M (or Mi State).

Its interesting you’re mourning the Fusion when everyone on this site seems to hate it. Not sure why, looks better than recent Camrys.

That line should be to the left of the rabbit...

Actually i think thats a legal requirement to label parts with the OEM. 

The only flaw seems to be they are only making 100 of them. But why? They don’t need exclusivity to sell these, they could easily double the price and production numbers and sell every single one. Seems a bit selfish if you ask me.

I’d like to say i have always appreciated the 944 which is much more than a “mildly cool 80s car” 

Its just ridiculous that we as a country can’t rectify the situation until the next election. Any successful company would have tossed out this “CEO” years ago for incompetence and God knows how many people want the country run like a company. When we fuck up we shouldn’t have to wait 4 years to fix it because some…

Its a bit sad to think its dead so quickly after the new owner took it home.
