Bronco R is a 2 door with the 4 door wheelbase. Future Warthog/Raptor? I would be in on that.

Yep! I heard it as, he was able to run wild with the Raptor and it is his favorite. I didn't look at his drawings close enough but wonder if he teased anything in them.They did such a great job with the design of this thing. The last questioning him on which one he wants, I'm thinking his answer is hinting towards the warthog/raptor...
But the product planners need to be fired!Paul and his team did a bang-on job.
It is an option. It starts on Outer Banks.I really wish they'd stop promoting this interior if it's not actually an option...
100% THIS!!! I remember many years ago standing at the Los Angeles Auto Show gazing at the new Mustang concept and telling my buddy āIf the production car looks like this, I will buy it on Day 1.ā Alas, the production car did not, in fact, look anything like that, as production cars are wont to do. They always end up smelling of surrender. (And I did not buy a Mustang then or any time since.)The Bronco isn't just an incredible design exercise (it practically looks too good to be production), it genuinely seems to be an honest product.

If you're referring to a Mustang concept that was shown at the old Los Angeles International Auto Show in January 2003, I'm guessing it must be this car and not the January 1993 Mach III concept that previewed 1994 Stang (December 1993)?100% THIS!!!

Youāre absolutely right: the most amazing thing about the new Bronco is the sheer impossibility of it being anything like it is as an actual production vehicle the Everyman can not only buy, but actually afford. It is, in agreement with one of your other points, only the 2nd new vehicle design Iāve ever been truly excited about. The first being the Mazda Miata (which I wasnāt able to actually afford until the ā94 model).
Just an utter triumph by the design team at Ford. Pure brilliance.
Iām reasonably confident those were the exact words that flew from my mouth at the time.Myself as a youth back then in January 2003, I was so shocked that Ford was developing such a cool car. I also wasn't aware it would only remain a concept only to be disappointed when I saw the production vehicle in January 2004 and wondering what the f**k happened?
