CNET Bronco Review : Legit Jeep Slayer & a warning to Ford

[Gasherbrum]

Great review by CNET that came out a few days ago: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/2021-ford-bronco-review-preview/

Starts out with It's real and it's spectacular but the last paragraph titled "Bronco's Biggest Problem" might be the most interesting: To be an early Bronco reservation holder is to be subjected to an unfunny comedy of errors and a parade of "we're sorry, we got this" apology emails. If it isn't careful, Ford may just squelch the considerable momentum this new Bronco has built among the SUV's earliest and most fervent supporters.

Hopefully the higher ups at Ford have taken this review - and warning - to heart.

I’m pretty sure “ I’m sorry” has not been said by Ford motor company. I’ve told a few friends about how “sorry” they are. But not repeating any kind apology.

Liability 101: Apologies are an admission of guilt.

The most important point.

"Ford may just squelch the considerable momentum this new Bronco has built among the SUV's earliest and most fervent supporters."

Alright, which one of you B6Gers works for Cnet?

Great read. This writer had a video up when the embargo ended, and in it he mentioned that he liked the Bronco so much he might buy one.

 

[Andrew_EOD]

Nobody mentioned anywhere that Ford said they were sorry.

Second to last paragraph of the article: To be an early Bronco reservation holder is to be subjected to an unfunny comedy of errors and a parade of "we're sorry, we got this" apology emails.

Ford actually did apologize in their March 25th "March Order Update" email:

" Add on a global pandemic, and this vehicle launch quickly escalated to one of the biggest challenges we've faced in years. These challenges have resulted in product changes for your Bronco order, which we want to share with you today. We know this news will be frustrating, and for this we sincerely apologize. "

No apologizes from Ford since then. Even as their commodity constraints shit show has gone from bad to worse. Instead, all we get are repeated emails letting us know that if we want a Bronco sooner rather than later all we have to do is change our order to something many of us don't want.

Maybe the ghost of Henry Ford is back with a new motto: "You can have any Bronco you want as long as it is a 4 door Big Bend with a soft top, 2.3 liter engine, mid package and incapable of towing anything."
