Anyone know when we can start to expect reviews for the Bronco on Consumer Reports, Car & Driver, etc?

I believe they are starting to manufacture the actual Broncos March 27th maybe? Does anyone know when we can expect reviews, people reacting to receiving them, etc?

Hopefully NEVER on Consumer Reports. They’re not very friendly to the off-road segment.

Day after tomorrow. Ask me again tomorrow.

They need to build something that can be reviewed. I wouldn't expect to see any before June.

I am curious where these Broncos are going that they said they were making starting late March. I am sure crashing and EPA stuff has to be finished. All of the dealerships on here said that their builds are schedule for early May, so they aren't getting them. Maybe for retailers to start making aftermarket parts?

Honestly who cares. When you look back and read the reviews that they have left even for modern classics such as the MK4 supra and process what they say, they're wrong more often than they are right.

Especially today, everyone assumes the average consumer wants the vehicle with little road noise, creature comforts like heated everything and automatic shizz, at least 25MPG+, zero maintenance issues besides oil and wipers, and never get stuck in snow, and probably a hybird, anything short of a Crosstrek or Rav4 is going to get 3 out 5 stars no matter how overbuilt and capable it is.

"oh this vehicle can handle Moab stock unassisted and survive the nuclear holocaust but has less than desireable MPG for todays standards and loudest road noise in its segment which will irritate even the most enthusiastic consumer. Also its a domestic product so...ew" - CR probably

TLDR: Auto reviews are biased.

It'd be nice if you started off with the TLDR instead of putting it at the end.

The key is to find reviewers that you know aren't biased. People who are well versed in the off-roading segment and can offer a good opinion on the Bronco. There are a lot of people out there who will be watching these reviews, especially the reviews that will very thoroughly compare the Bronco to the Wrangler.

Those are the people that will care when these reviews come out. The people who are cross shopping. They want to know whether to keep their reservations, make reservations or go ahead and order a Wrangler.

I do not disagree. Unfortunately I believe most car review sites are more generalists than experts in any specific segment. I believe to remove any bias they aim for the largest demographic.

Tuesday.

So tomorrow? SUH-WEET!

 

[Tdifonzo]

You know who else is biased? Bronco forum members. Lol

I think the better question is, "When will social media STOP reviewing and having people reacting to receiving them".

Waiting now with everybody else isn't the painful part. Waiting when you starting seeing those reviews and first drives and you still have 1\2 a year to go before your delivery is going to SUCKKKKK.

Can we have the media suppress any Bronco news until my delivery date? Should be easy for them to do.

June. That is roughly when demo models (mannequins) will start showing up at dealers and when we might see the first deliveries. While they have sold plenty so far when people start seeing them in person the demand will go up even more.
