I think it’s more accurate to say that it’s basically the next generation Everest because of the independent rear axle set up, like the next Fortuna will be.

I don’t think Ford would be that stupid to do the same as what Land Rover did with the new Defender. They might as well stop testing now already.

Stick to what made it a legend ala Wrangler and they would sell gazillions

Taking on the Wrangler? That would be good

They also have some interesting new patents for the Bronco.

I just hope they make it right hand drive. Would love a 4 door Bronco in my garage

Big launch in a few hours.

The Yanks have been waiting for the Bronco for a long time. They reckon they will sell 200K within the first year.

The FJ is only about 30 years old. Toyota won't be considering replacing it anytime soon, it's practically new compared to the rest of their offerings.

Yup. They might bring out a newer 4Runner.

Considering the type of vehicles that excite you, do you also find this exciting?

A guy who bought a Navara - a non selling spring suspended bakkie named after the mispelt name of a Spanish region from a French owned Jap company who's former CEO is a Brazilo-Leb fugitive hiding in Beirut - is chirping me.
