Total buzz kill, 2020 date, to be a saggy pants 4-door, and looking like everything else out there.

Neither a Bronco nor a Ranger were rolled out onto the stage.......................

So while we were all hoping for the retro-inspired two-door Bronco that fans have been gleefully sketching for years, such a product would be too niche for Ford to risk building. A sensibly sized four-door 4×4 may not have that vintage cachet, but it’ll be appealing to a far wider group of buyers. And with Ranger bones and the Jeep Wrangler as a target, it’ll no doubt have the off-road prowess demanded by the Bronco name.

FYI: Ford didn't show anything on the Bronco at last Sunday's employees sneak peak preview event either. They seemed really geeked about those autonomous vehicles though. The future is going to suck, enjoy life in the "now".

I believe that's a Meyers 200. A little nicer looking than a Navion.

With that roofline, it is certainly a Meyers / Aero Commander 200.

That is a thing of beauty, similar to what used to be found under a Ferrari engine deck lid and some others. Soon to be history - I can't get stirred up about a big battery and electric motors (visually, anyway).

2019 Ford Ranger

No not at all, but for some reason Ford shows the current world/global market truck on the backdrop videos when discussing the future redesigned Ranger. It might be fair to say that there will be a resemblance, or one could think it's a purposeful misdirection.

............Ford has stated the American version will get its own “front styling, engines and features.”

Mr. Andrew P. Collins opinion on Monday (not mine):

Quote:

If the Bronco does become a U.S.-market version of the Everest, it will probably not look like the SUV that’s currently on sale internationally.

We used to get sneak peaks long before production, but with the length of design shrinking so does our peak into the future get compressed.

I think it's fair to say looking at the current Mustang that the 2020 Bronco will not be as Retro as the 2005 Mustang was. However, I see no point in slipping a model in between the Escape and Explorer (which are also 4-doors). A retro 2-door is the only thing which makes sense to me, yet the direction or misdirection by Ford would have you thinking otherwise.

In 2016 the Toyota FJ Cruiser world production was stopped. Perhaps Ford is just trying to throw Toyota off track?

On October 10, 2016, Toyota filed for a trademark on the name "Toyota FT-4X." This trademark was first discovered by AutoGuide, and as they point out, this could be an indication of a future off-road-oriented concept vehicle. Could it be a successor to the FJ Cruiser?

I'd be happy if I can just get a glimpse at what the '18 4Runner is gonna look like.
