Ford does realize that in order for this company to make one of these, they have to buy a new Ford Bronco in the first place? If anything, this company is bringing them business.

thedrive.com reports they start at $169k.  Seems a bit ridiculous, even as nice as they look.

The BMW XM.

EcoBoost Mustang. I understand that the 0-60 times are below the V8 muscle cars we all wax nostalgic on from 20+ years ago. I understand that they also deliver 30+ mpg on the highway. But still every time I see a pony on the back instead of the GT, and the V8 rumble is replaced by the rasp of the 4 cylinder, I can…

I was about the slap you after the first sentence, but you redeemed yourself and I totally agree. I adore my Maverick. It’s the perfect vehicle for me (and a lot of other people too, I suspect) and it’s crazy that no one else has really tried to make a competitor, other than Hyundai.

Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing. Not to Ford, though. It’s embarrassing because it is a HUGE success, but no other automaker seems to be able to create their own version! It should be so simple!!! Just take your small CUV, lengthen the wheelbase a bit, and add a bed!

I don’t even know the name/model but what’s that gargantuan BMW suv that looks like it’s got a botched and infected Botox lip job?

Yeah, if I’d seen this, I would have just assumed the decals were custom...applied by someone with no taste. If I wanted to drive around blasting Whitesnake with a girl whose hair was permed up to the size of a lion’s mane, then...probably still ND.

You described every MAGA voter out there, which we now know are more plentiful than we once thought a few weeks ago.  

A so-so decal package that only a few people (not me) remember adds exactly zero value. So you’re left with a nicely kitted, well-preserved old truck. That’s nice, but not $19K nice. ND.

And none of that sissy cowardly “let’s go brandon” kind of crap.

can’t wait to slap these dumbass stickers all over price tags when shit like eggs start costing $14 per carton and gas is $29 per gallon while the various CEO’s of major industries continue to rake in the dough.

We had to listen to Fuck Joe Biden for four years, now it’s time to confidently and deservedly move forward with Fuck Donald Trump, loudly and frequently, until he’s gone.

I just leased a plug in hybrid because $7,500 off the top of the lease and other incentives made it affordable. Leasing is something I never would have considered without these price cuts. Thanks Joe Biden.

AWD instead of 4WD, less ground clearance than a Subaru, no mention of payload... For that money, you’re basically prioritizing the aesthetics and tech in the cabin because you can get actual legit capability elsewhere and many times for less. This is just another case of polishing a crossover, slapping on a name that…

Nice. 4Runners have gotten way too big, this is more like the 2000-era 4Runners, which are fantastic.

Good looking SUV. If we’re lucky the Ridgeline will follow suit. 

I was thinking this is a very attractive car until you pointed that out.

i find it interesting that the first generation passports all came with 20 inch wheels and the second gen is going 18" only according to this post. wonder what made honda shy away from 20s. i know the 18s make sense for the trailsport. i just find it interesting.

I know I am old school but it’s hard to take an “offroad SUV” seriously when it doesn’t have a solid rear axle.
