Bronco vs Blazer: Death of the Bowtie

[mbagne]

Very good point. That Mach-E thing is just craziness. If Carroll Shelby was still alive, he'd have called in an airstrike... LOL!!

Not exactly fair . . . the Mach E is a whole different thing as an electric vehicle, Ford has license to do what it wants due to a completely different platform, it's not like Ford took the brand into left field. For instance, here is the 2022 Mustang Mach 1, still FIRMLY in the spirit of Mustang heritage, meaning you can still get Mustang the way we have all loved Mustang. You can no longer get a Blazer, to OP's point the brand has been totally ruined.

Terrible isn't it? Rumor has it the Sport was almost the new "Bronco" at one point during development. Thank God someone at Ford had the sense to nip that in the bud and build us a real one.

By most accounts it’s a pretty nice vehicle they should have just named it something else.

This is what I was rooting for.

also offer it with a stick and V8

for me the only thing GM has of interest is their mid sized offroad truck

Mach E is pretty sweet in its own right, but I agree the naming is a little odd. Should've added another horse to the stable instead of calling it a mustang.

That being said, 0-60 in 3.5 isn't half bad for a compact SUV.

When I heard the Blazer was coming back, I was thrilled. Then I saw it. What a waste of a legendary name plate, just another crappy crossover...

This is hilarious as we traded my wife’s 2020 Blazer in a year early (was leased) to get her bronco. It is a shame what they did for namesake but it was a nice vehicle. She had to give up a fair share of conviences going from blazer to bronco as she had the premier awd so dang well loaded. But after she drove mine for a bit and realized what fun we can have in a Bronco meant for 4wheeling the deal was sealed.

I’m probably gonna get roasted for this but don’t really care. My wife has a 21 RS Blazer and I have a 22 Black Diamond. I’ve owned a 69, 70, 72 and 00 Blazers and one Bronco. While I’m disappointed the new Blazer is nothing like the early ones its still a real nice ride and Chevy sells then with minimal wait and it doesn’t hide the fact that it’s a mall crawler. I assure you there are Gen 1 Bronco owners no more impressed with the new 4 door mall crawling Gen-6 Broncos than the GM haters here.. Gone are the days of the V8s, bolting on a set of 44” after I installing an affordable 9” lift, (body + spring) in your garage with minimal modifications. I love my new Bronco, but let’s face it. It’s primary resemblance to the original is the square exterior corners, and wind noise associated with a removable top

If Chevy wants to print easy money. Import the new Suzuki Jimny and call it the Tracker. I would 100% order it!

I tried to import one from Mexico, but no luck.

Honestly, it looks pretty good. Interior looks much better than the Mach E, and I'm a died in the wool hater of "Government Motors".

GM should have picked a different name.

I don't like the "Mustang Mach E" name either, should have just called it a Mach E and left off the "Mustang". Or they could have brought back any of the Mercury names, like Marauder.

They probably should've called it a Blazer sport

kind of more equivalent to Bronco sport but looks a lot better
