    If it was a 2 door, it was definitely a Bronco. The sport only comes in a 4dr, fixed top version. Like a stretched Bronco II.
    I suppose they are not for everyone, but you can say that about every vehicle. Personally, I can't wait to get my blue 2dr with the top off and hit the trails.

    I think are mistaken on what you drove. The full size Bronco is not out for consumption yet even by media. You'll notice on any of the review videos that they are all riding along and not driving. There are none at dealerships available for driving. They are doing road shows with two on static display which you can sit in. All that I've seen so far are 4 door...no 2 doors. The new Bronco is a decent size vehicle. Interior about the same width as the Tacoma. If you get Squatch, the exterior dimensions is close to the width of a full size truck. Hell, the Squatch tires are 35s...you'd know it if you saw it.

    So no offense you drove a Bronco Sport; pics or it didn't happen.

    If he drove it was at a dealer, if it’s a dealer than they have a website and I’m sure they’ll have pics of it.

    Here in Boise, about a month ago.
    It clearly said "Bronco" on the rear... tailgate? Door?
    Still had the sticker on the window.

    You sure you're not seeing a Bronco Sport? Ford says Broncos are not shipping until June.

    I'd bet a month's salary that was a Bronco Sport.

    Yep, wish they had just called it something else. TFL YouTube channel keeps getting so many reports of Bronco sightings that they had to make a video about it.

    You've seen sports in NJ.

    There are a couple hundred Broncos on the road, and that's it. Most are being driven in Michigan by Ford employees. The rest are traveling to certain parts of the country to test off road abilities. Production for retail sales is about to start, but hasn't yet.

    People make the same mistake with the Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. Those are differnt vehicles, but they do like similar and are unibody. I think the Compass even look similar.

    The Bronco Sport is a unidody. The Bronco is body on frame.

    Ford has the dumbest naming ever. Every manufacturer (ford included) has "sport" trim levels. Suddenly "sport" is a completely different vehicle?

    Oh and "eco" is pronounced differently in EcoBoost vs Ecosport?

    Really? :confused:

    Yes... EEKOHboost and echosport are how those words are pronouned.

    The differnce is Ecological vs Economical.
