looks like Toyota is bringing back the FJ, rumors are that Ford will bring back a Bronco as well, this is some retro I can deal with.

That bronco looks like a cheap toy car to me.

agreed

the ford is a concept, it wont look EXACTLY like that



the point is they look like the old models which were very desirable

That bronco is wicked.

if they made another International Scout then we would have a dillema!

I will say that they are more tasteful than some of that other **** theyre making now. I like it mostly but it will need some change from the concept.

FJ40 with a diesel would be cool.

245hp V-6 will have to do

scouts are freakin awsome, my uncle has one that im tryin to get him to give me

that ford looks like their version of a landcruiser or one of those mercedes suv's that celebs drive cuz theyre pretty and shiny.



and BLING BLINGY

LANDCRUSHER!!!!!

this is a modern TOYOTA FJ40, not a landcruiser, they did make both https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Ford already makes: the explorer, expedition, excursion, and escape. Why would they add a fifth suv on the market?

i think theyre trying to call that freestyle an suv too, but we all know its a station wagon

because the people want the Bronco back

Agreed, and their also having real trouble selling them.



However, IF they were to bring out another, it would pretty much HAVE to be some kind of limited production banner vehicle like this one.

The people have wanted the 7 back for years, but you sure as **** don't see it on the market now?

that bronce is a turbo diesel...and the concept had nitrous as well.



kevin.

thats because it didnt sell

the Bronco sold, they just decided it was time to retire the nameplate

Ford sells about 400,000 explorers every year, never mind the others they sell

they have the best selling SUV in the market, never mind the best selling vehicle in the world- the F-series pick ups.

Exploder sales are down nearly 20% from this time last year. Trucks are down more than 10%. People are finally coming to their senses and not buying them to drive around empty in the suburbs.

but they STILL sell more then anyone else does combined



so when sales of a type of vehicle drop they should stop coming out with new models?

First I was afraid, I was petrified,

Kept thinking I could never live, without you by my side,

But I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,

I grew strong, I learned how to carry on,

and so you're back, from outer space,

I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face,

I should have changed my stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key,

If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me,

Remember the early 90s? There used to be a lot of sports cars.







The F series BARELY outsold GM trucks last year, despite being completely redesigned. The Explorer didn't outsell the Trailblazer by that much.



Remember GM sales are split between GMC and Chevy, but are counted seperately.

Ford isn't exactly know for breaking any design barriers. They'll make cool concepts but rarely bring them out.

SUVs are in the maturity of their product life, the fad of having them will die slowly, and from some marketing stuff I know they will probably bring out a bronco as companies stress brand name and such as a product is at maturity to try to distinguish it.

The suv market has just shifted. It is now in the "high class" sales of suvs from Lexus, Infinity, Mercedes, and other upper line brands have gone up. (I may be wrong, this is what i have read)



The reason fords sales have gone down is because people have finally realized that they really do suck. The new F series has so many problems that its not even funny....



And in other news...



Toyota recently surpassed ford to become the 2nd top selling motors company in the world.



It is now



#1 - General Motors

#2 - Toyota

#3 - Ford



This is international sales, not just in the US...

I was just lookin at the FJ40 dealy a few days ago.. and I really like it.. whats odd is that it says it is meant to be at a lower tier than the Rav 4... thats odd.. but hey.. more affordable = Win.. unless it does not perform to the bar set by the landcruiser Legacy..



and the bronco looks nice too.

you all seem to forget this is a thread about TOYOTA, not Ford



I like the FJ, I was making convo if Ford would bring back its Bronco in a response to the retro Toyota. I didnt mean for everyone to frantically google search Ford's sales from last year.



And sports cars are one of the only segments of the market that remain stable, changing little from year to year. They just dont make alot of money, SUVs make alot of money.

I think I hear someone typing away about to argue your small point about sports car sells. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Yeah

Having seen both in person, the Bronco concept looks really good. It has a real presence. The FJ concept, on the other hand, looks like a pile of puke on 4 wheels.

haha!
