1.) it’s nice to see other light 4WD vehicles out there.
2.) maybe Toyota gets their act together. They seem to only advance when competitors up the ante.

I really want to get a base model two door Sasquatch, even put one on reservation, but I think I will cancel because typical Ford “quality control” is going to kill this thing.

I just saw a fully off-road modded FJ in the Costco parking lot today. It looked great. I wish Toyota would build something like that again.

There is no such thing as a good looking FJ.
They look like some one raised a J40 Landcruiser on a diet of fried foods and Coca Cola.
Thats what “FJ” stands for “FAT J40”

So, I read this article. The Ford Bronco Sport Has 1 Frustrating Dealbreaker
I can understand the complaints about the particularly odd shape of the seats, but are people really so far up their own butts that they'll complain about the interior about the Bronco Sport?
"This interior doesn't caress my buttocks and flagellate my ego to make me feel like an important person. This is unacceptable! Roysten! Come quick! This vehicle is making me feel like a commoner!"
Friggin' please. This is what's wrong with vehicles these days.
EDIT: Any more complaining about interiors in vehicles these days, I'll be reading it in this voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPdMzjz5rtI

I don't get out to civilization all that often...
Has the Bronco Sport been released for sale to the public yet? Figure the it competes with the Honda CRV, Subaru, Toyota Rav4, and whatever crappy utes Jeep, & Hyundai/Kia sell.
I hear the Bronco release date has been pushed back again.

No, it's still not out, but last week there was some kind of preview program with journalists. It seems like the Bronco Sport is the Bronco that's the furthest along. I haven't heard about a release date for the Sport, but maybe it'll come out before the regular Bronco.
Yeah, coronavirus complications pushed at least the conventional Bronco back to summer.

The "RC" Bronco that was seen recently is closest Ford lovers will come to seeing the new Bronco.

@ Drobs
It turns out people have already begun buying the Bronco Sport. That's how far it's along. Also, the Bronco Sport is a superstar. People are coming up to Bronco owners asking to take photos.

For a while. I'm thinking about getting one and using the body on a hobby grade chassis. Other people have already done that.

I don't get it. To me the Sport looks like an old Ford Flex with big tires.
