ma.
Anybody see the Area 51 paint in person? I am torn between that and Cactus Gray.
Yes I have. I think it looks great! My son just ordered a Bronco in that color.

Somewhere at Land Rover, they are only wishing they nailed their Defender re-do, as well as Ford's design team nailed the Bronco blend of new technology and classic lines.

Saw a Bronco in the Wild today. It was the 4-door "Sport" Model.

Meh....It was OK.

The Bronco Sport is actually really nice for what it is. I got in one with a $29k MSRP and that’s the first time in a long time I’ve been in a car, really any car, and thought “this is a lot of car for the money.” Clever features, nice design, very reasonable price. They will sell lots to regular people.

Yeah, I am only commenting on the external design. I think Classic design is far cooler.

I am a Ford guy either way. Hope they sell a ton of these.

Looking like my prediction of the tires from the promotional images being left on the cutting room floor are coming true.

Just received letter for my 2021 that was delayed to 2022 now to 2023 for the black hard top. Patience is a virtue …

When do the new Broncos begin delivery? (Not the baby sport model already seen around town)

They are starting to trickle out now, but the backlog is immense.

We received our first unit yesterday for a VIP customer. Our next unit shows in transit. And we have a hardtop in the plant now. Lets hope from here on things go smooth.

We all hope... but it appears that there's still some rough seas ahead with potential improvement beginning in August (full-rate production objective). Michigan assembly plant will be closed down 2 of the next 4 weeks giving suppliers (namely hardtop producing Webasto) the chance to get ahead of the game a little.

The good news is that some Broncos are finally getting into customer's hands - and the initial review all continue to be very positive!

Finally ordered one last night. I can live without a hard top so hopefully it'll be here in a few months.
