Re: 2008 BRONCO

I don't know about this. Here is an old article. I can find nothing current on Google. From the sounds of it.. if it ever happens it won't be close to thebronco we used to love


Sources: Ford Bronco May Ride Again

Date posted: 09-12-2005

DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford is working on reviving its Bronco SUV nameplate as a compact CUV, which would be smaller than Toyota's RAV4 and would challenge Chevrolet's small Aveo.

According to supplier sources familiar with the plan, Ford's program code for the new Bronco is BV409 or 410. Look for the vehicle to appear around model-year 2008 or 2009 — it will likely be based on the next-generation Ford Fiesta subcompact platform, which is likely to arrive in 2008.

Ford showed a prototype called Bronco at the 2004 Detroit Auto Show. The production model would have styling inspired by that of the 1966 Ford Bronco. We say "inspired by" and not "mimicking" because the new Bronco is likely to be as far removed from the original as Dodge's new Charger sedan is from the classic two-door for which it is named. The new Bronco wouldn't have off-roading chops and would lack a V8 engine, and would therefore not appeal to hard-core old Bronco fans.

But done properly, the new Bronco could be a small, highly fuel-efficient, youth-oriented vehicle that is not embarrassing — perhaps even a cult vehicle. The mitigating factor will be styling. If the Bronco doesn't look like mom and dad's SUV, but has styling with contemporary significance to match affordability and outstanding gas mileage, it could be a big hit.

What this means to you: If you are young or budget-conscious, the Bronco could be a stylish alternative to such mainstream vehicles as Chevrolet's Aveo.

Re: 2008 BRONCO

No pictures of it yet, although it'll be (very roughly) based on the 04 Concept Bronco.
Here's a brief note about it:

Sources: Ford Bronco May Ride Again

It's actually a 2009 model, coming out in the fall of '08, from what I've read. Ford commited to it this past Spring, and it will indeed be based on the new Fiesta platform, nothing at all like the old Bronco.
But then again, this is a different world, with high fuel pricing, environment concerns, etc; it may be just the thing for the times. I'm sure Ford has done their homework on sales projections already.......
