The render is hideous, but I'd be very interested in a smaller version.
They would almost need to give it a Gen 2/Gen 3 design influence to make it not look like a 6G Bronco mini me.

I've never cared for those so I'd hope not. I just want an exact scale model of the 6G but 10% smaller.

Something closer to the OG Bronco and Bronco II in size.
Or you can just get a 2 door. Yes, the Jimmy is smaller.

I was never a fan either, but if done right, it might work. I wouldn’t mind if the 6G had been a bit smaller too.

A little smaller, lighter and simpler, there's a lot of tech, but almost the same size inside after reducing tech and weight.

How about just getting the Jimny in the US. I’d buy one.

For size reference, here’s a Jimny and a Wrangler.

Curious, to see a dark horse Bronco render. Yeah, I know they went crazy with all these editions with more on the way.

Something Jimmy sized just doesn‘t have a market here in the US. America is big and spread out, plus Americans are bigger people, so we like space.

Hell, Jeep barely sales the 2 Dr and Bronco has a decent, rabid, but small take rate (Count me as a founding member of the 2 Dr Cartel, Blood In, Blood Out! :oops:), but since most buyers are trying to turn an off-road Bronco into a suburban soccer mom hauler, smaller just won‘t sell enough to actually build.

I personally think the 2 Dr Bronco is sized about perfect. I could use maybe 3-4 more cargo inches, but it’s nothing I really need. Just smarter packing solves all of the potential issues.

This is what the Bronco Sport should've been...fun sized like a Jimny or Sami with a normal engine layout. I'd even be fine with an IFS/IRS setup on something little like that.
That would have been a true "Bronco Sport" The reason it's not is four doors in this size will sell way more than two doors; but two doors, especially with a manual option would way more fun; GTI for off road. Coupes and two door hatchbacks are fun, but four doors sell more and crash testing and platform sharing are making the two doors go away.

If Jeep didn't offer a two door, would Ford had offered one for the Bronco?
