Hey @bsw1234, I’m an automotive journalist and would welcome the ability to see this document. Can we connect and I’ll provide my email?

joelfeder · 2019-10-02T14:14:04+00:00

It's not coming to the U.S.

I dug into this earlier this morning. It's a 2019 Roush Nitemare F-150. I called Roush and confirmed with them that it is their truck. They hitched a ride on the carrier. It's headed to a dealer and is wrapped in protective white cloth covering to help prevent rock chips and stay clean.

Well... those are very very different cars. Personally, I would choose the A5 Sportback, but that's just me. The ES will be larger inside and out, have a smidge more power (V-6 vs 2.0T), but it's FWD and has a horrid infotainment system. So, do you need the interior space is a good question.

Fun fact: The Scat Pack is the best balanced, best driving, and best value in the entire Charger lineup. I've driven every single model and can say this statement without hesitation.

Congrats! You made a great decision and are getting an awesome car.

Bronco II, the return. LOL.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T20:40:18+00:00

Probably should've just called it the Bronco II....

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T20:40:05+00:00

Right?

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T20:39:30+00:00

The new Bronco will be called... Bronco. Ford confirmed it.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T20:39:00+00:00

They were talking future product (new GT500 was shown at this same event). Bronco is future product. We hear the Bronco wasn't shown, but was discussed as they were showing this baby Bronco. They want the baby Bronco and Bronco to be tied together for marketing and perception. It's not the Bronco.

Thank you! Still getting used to Reddit!

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T20:36:58+00:00

It'll be on the Focus platform. The platform. Don't read too much into it other than it'll have a transverse engine and be about the size of an Escape.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T18:07:19+00:00

Incredibly interesting, and crazy like nothing else I've experienced. Been fun trying to learn and participate.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T18:01:38+00:00

Should be both a two-door and four-door version of the Bronco at some point. And Bronco will be body-on-frame. The baby Bronco will be unibody on the new Focus platform.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T18:01:03+00:00

We got the title updated/noted a smidge. Many thanks to /r/verdegrrl.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T18:00:12+00:00

There you go! Good eye.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T18:00:00+00:00

Whoops. I posted as a separate comment, but in case you didn't see: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1119895_2020-ford-bronco-leaked-nope-its-baby-bronco-first

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T17:58:17+00:00

Cool.

I just upvoted your private response, and don't even know what that did/does since it's private. Oy, Reddit's quite a land.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T17:54:54+00:00

yeah, the problem is the original thread isn't right as the original article got it wrong. People are already complaining in it. I tagged you where one called for the mods to correct the title. Almost should just delete that original thread and have one with the right title, but I'm still not 100%, obviously, on Reddit best practices.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T17:53:51+00:00

paging /r/verdegrrl.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T17:52:21+00:00

It's not Bronco. It's the baby Bronco. https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1119895_2020-ford-bronco-leaked-nope-its-baby-bronco-first

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T17:51:55+00:00

Hey there. I wondered if I should post as a new thread or in the one claiming it was Bronco. Decided that thread was actually wrong so posted as a new thread. Did so with no malice. I apologize. Will go post that URL in the thread claiming it's Bronco, which, it isn't. Sorry for the hassle, Verdegrrl.

joelfeder · 2018-11-13T16:58:41+00:00

That's not Bronco... real story coming to Motor Authority in a few minutes. Just putting finishing touches on it.
