Not a bad looking vehicle, a little boxy. It looks to me like they're trying to make this thing look like an H2 (Hummer).

Wonder if FORD was faking them out when they put this possible New Version BRONCO out in Jan 2004? I see alot of my 1966 in that puppy!

Yup! There it is again, that H2 look!
Did Ford ever start mass producing those? I can't say as I have seen any around.

Never heard a word other than what was put out 13 months ago? They may have been giving mis-information?[img]graemlins/patriot.gif[/img]

Ford was probably floating a balloon to see how well that Bronco would be accepted before they spent all that money tooling up for production. Pretty smart move.

KRT,
I agree, especially in that gray scale picture which gives it a gun metal look. It looks hateful or like it has a bad attitude. It still looks too much like an H2.
Now if it had some of them spinning hubcaps and a gold chain license plate frame it would be the shiznit!! Every [img]graemlins/afro.gif[/img] in the State would want it! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

After looking at the pic of that Bronco again I think it looks mor like the old International Scout than a Bronco.
That Crosslander looks good too. Is it made by Range Rover?

Man I would love it if they brought back the old International Scout, but not with all the new bells and whistles, just a no-nonsense utility vehicle. I looked at a lot of old Scouts last year when I ended up buying my K5 and it's nearly impossible to find a stock Scout that is in good condition anymore.

The Crosslander is made by Crosslander,a romanian company that was bought out by a Brazilian Company... Its built on Ford Chassis, and even has a model with a Cummins diesel in it... Its about the size of a 4 runner, but supposedly built bad ass... When you buy it,its loaded up like the pictures.. I got a quote from a place in Texas at $17900, loaded out, but cant get on the waiting list...
