does, and one only needs to see what Jeep is doing to understand that enthusiasts matter.

So make the Baby Bronco exactly as it is. Call it the Explorer Mini or Escape HD. Keep the Bronco a purist vehicle.

I mean, Ford isn't going to rebadge the Taurus as the "Mustang Family", so WHY have a "Baby Bronco" that doesn't have a Low Range? (Remember when the Ford Probe was going to be launched as the Mustang? That was a bad idea too)

Or a shorter Flex. I think the design could be improved if that camo is hiding a little bit of a fastback.

This appears to be worse than the new Blazer - so disappointing. Had so much

This isn't the Bronco. Ford is still releasing a truck-based Bronco that will be meatier and more capable...

This thread is pointing out a huge marketing issue with the Bronco brand. If it's a light duty crossover, don't

Car makers are notoriously bad at marketing to their brand enthusiasts. But they hit the masses well...
