that is the case, a small section of the market. But it is that section of the market that drives sales by giving the Bronco a reputation. It is the same with Jeep. If the Jeep couldn't perform off road, it would not be a popular mall crawler. It is the builders, the hard core, that gives reputations of capabilities to Jeep, or other similar vehicles, and that reputation that is earned is what drives sales and keeps a model alive.Unfortunately, this represents a tiny sliver of the market. Probably smaller than people who want to drive manual sports cars like myself, for example. Look at the new Supra. Even the new 3 and 4 series bimmers don't offer a manual option, save for the upcoming M's.
Without appealing to that very critical segment, the Bronco will never take off.[/QUOTE]
You mean like the rotary engine in my picture? People like me spend tens of thousands of dollars, and have been for decades on rotaries. Millions of views on YouTube, racing pedigree, big horsepower, from a small part of the market, and yet Mazda ain't bringing it back no matter how many rumors come out. Why? Emissions and reliability that the majority of the market cares about. Or in the Bronco's case, 4 doors and power everything. I'm a hardcore guy too, but like Nickp says, it just doesn't make financial sense unfortunately.
