Agree. Even their navy blue looks great, and I don’t like navy on cars.

Yea, my neighbor has had a Bronco Sport in the driveway a few times, not sure if he works for a dealer group or what but he randomly has new cars in his driveway for a day or two here and there.
They do a good job disguising that it's an Escape with some work done to it, but it's certainly nothing special.
I dig the full Broncos, but after the experience my better half, and some racing buddies, have had with Fords over the last couple years, not to mention the Sports overheating the 4WD systems during reviews, I'd like to see how they hold up over 3 years of use.
Really dig the styling and capabilities I've seen.

I have seen two four-door Broncos in the past week, both with big tires and ugly front over-rider bumpers, both sporting M plates. We are less than an hour from Dearborn and Flat Rock, so the test mules are still running. Personally, I like them more than a Jeep, but only because Jeeps are Barbie cars around here.

I'll be interested to see the real Broncos on the road, but they don't look all that exciting to me. It seems to look better in some photos than others, but other than the grill design, which I like, the profile seems kind of boring. Particularly with the 4-door. It's cool that you can get a lift and big tires from the factory, and a new competitor in the off-road segment is a good thing, but it doesn't seem like a Holy Grail vehicle to me.
I'm seeing lots of Sports on the road now. It looks better than some CUVs, but really nothing special IMO.
The Bronco forums are pretty funny to peruse -- you'd think it was the second coming of Jesus. I guess that's how Toyota forums would be if the Toyota announced a new FJ with retro styling.

I was into Gen 1 Broncos. I owned three and I'd still like to have a 1977 if I found one for the right price. But that ain't gonna happen. Those things are as irrational as FJ40s! I guess Ford may be able to ride the cult like hysteria of "real Broncos" into some sympathetic sales. This vehicle is just a name. My first impression is that the FJ Cruiser was more of an homage to its ancestor than this rig is to the early Broncos. But, I have to admit the Badlands with Sasquatch package (factory 35s) is probably more serious than most off-road offerings outside of Toyota.

All Toyota needs to do is make a "4Runner Classic" model by modifying a 2 door regular cab Tacoma to have a removeable rear roof with a bench seat in the back. That would be an instant hit.
