Why? The Mustang, back in 1964/65, started up as a jazzed up version of the Falcon.... and took off like hotcakes. So... Same kind of the same thing by my reasoning.
IMO - Good for Ford to bring some excitement to the market. The fact that that there is a different, albeit more capable (and more expensive and such) Bronco coming as well is just a bonus.

Iirc jlr took the same approach with the discovery sport - it was introduced before the current big discovery but shared a lot of the same styling cues.

Rubicon 392 gas mileage is: 13/17 and 14mpg overall
😂 Maybe there will be lots of those canteen tank things standard.

Now that I've been seeing them more often, it's kind of grown on me some. Maybe my initial thoughts were a bit too harsh.
Also, my attention is now had: https://jalopnik.com/the-bronco-rapt...ked-1847673244

I like it, but in person it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Like, McLarge Huge.
I haven't seen a 2 door yet, which is the only one I'd really be interested in. Maybe those are more manageable, size-wise. |

I’ve seen a four-door one here. It is LARGE.
