In this application the 2.3 isn't getting better mpg. In some cases it will get worse mpg than the 2.7. Generally people chose a 4 banger for economic reasons, but in this case besides a few grand upfront there really isn't any.

I kinda wish I went with carbon over cactus, but I’m really disappointed by all the colors.
If you have to park your custom paint job next to a factory paint job for people to tel the difference, you screwed up. On the other hand, I wish I could afford that kind of bullshit. Congratulations.
It's on the table for me. I still don't love any of the colors. (The green is a safe green that expected, but not what I really wanted.) I'm hoping they will improve their upholstery options for 22 but I'm not holding my breath. - That said, I don't expect 23 to be any different, so why wait?
To be fair, faux chrome is present on 90% of vehicles manufactured today - so Ford et al must think that people want it.
I'd venture to say that nobody wants a semi-truck amount of chrome on a compact vehicle, and since Ford decided to make the Bronco grill the size of a Mack truck grill it's...
Original Broncos didn't have fender flairs (Only modified ones did.) So scratch those. The new grill is just too big to be anything other than black. Actually that basically goes for everything, even the door handles are too big. 1st Gens had very subtle grills, bumpers, handles and mirrors...
I'm in the same boat, only I already requested to be moved to a MY22 a couple months ago. I doubt Ford will do any updates beyond exterior paint colors. They are probably focused so much on fixing the top issues that nothing else will happen. Doubt we will even see the "heritage" edition till MY23.
I realized the same thing with a 7/13 reservation (like first 15 minutes of opening). I went ahead and asked the dealer to move me to a 22.
I didn’t like any of the 21 colors so I am hoping for a nice green blue or actual grey. I don’t expect any other changes, but they might flush out a bug or...
I reserved in the first 15 minutes and gave up after the first few rounds of people getting build dates and just moved to a my22. Don’t regret it at all.
