Man, I lost count of how many people I've had tell me "oh I heard you have a Bronco on order, yeah my buddy got one months ago, it's ok, very small", or something along those lines.
For some, the flaw is the feature. I might not have gotten one if it were as large as the prior generation Broncos. For others, the 2 door, and even 4 door, are too small.

My favorite is to either hit the unlock from a distance or, even better, do the auto window down feature.

It's been weird having people make me roll my windows down at lights to tell me how awesome it is.
Haha, I love it! I’d always remote start my Camaro to scare people away.

The Sport.
They are talking about the Sport when they say they've seen plenty of Broncos and they are smaller than they expected.
I guess you're lucky if you haven't heard it a hundred times.

Yea I do the same with my Ram, it has the hemi and Flowmaster Outlaw catback, so it’s not quiet on startup. When I visit my parents, their neighborhood has a ton of kids who like to lean on cars and hang out. It was hilarious watching them jump when I remote started it on a couple occasions as they were right behind the exhaust. They don’t go near it anymore for some reason.

I will have no problem with looking or questions, I get questions and compliments on my Triumph because it's very rare (I've never have seen one at any Biker Bar or show and I now what I'm looking for) and I actually appreciate it when people know or don't know and comment or asks questions.

But no touching and that includes touching the windows to see in better. Look all you want if you don't touch. And if I'm not rushing to work or somewhere important, it's fun to share the info.
What kind of Triumph do you have? Where I'm at, they're the most common bike on the road.

Some wise man somewhere once said "don't touch other people's shit". I don't think that's too much to ask.

Still waiting for my Bronco, but I sometimes ride my Honda Grom, that thing seems to draw a good bit of attention even though they have been out for some years now. Mostly people at intersections rolling down their windows to ask if it is street legal or how fast it goes, sometimes people flag me down on small rural roads or parking lots just to ask questions.
I have no issues with people looking at my vehicles or asking me questions (unless I'm in a rush). However, I have a big problem the moment someone lays their hands on it without asking first, and especially if I am not there. That is where I draw the line, and those who cross it might not like what I do next.
If it's not yours, don't touch it, simple.
Tons of people here rip through the city on Groms. I always felt like I'd look like a polar bear on a tricycle on it, but they do look fun. But I also ride a Sportster and am over 6', so I'm halfway there anyway.

It gets a lot of attention. Lots of questions, but the primary one asked is "how do you like it?"

I had a 70 Bronco and I don't remember any celebrity status with it. Are they looking at the new Bronco because you can't get one? Or is it like looking at a PT Cruiser? They still turn heads,,,LOL.

Had a few looks from drivers in Bronco Sports this past weekend. Couldn't tell if they were just on board with the Bronco spirit, or caught up with envy that they didn't wait for the real thing. It is a bit strange getting all the looks and questions though. I don't mind since I love it!

I told my wife she's going to make the guys driving Sports feel bad when she pulls beside them at a red light in a Sasquatch Badlands.

I have a feeling when we get ours they will still be very rare. I've probably only seen 7 or 8 Sports on the road as well as the same real Bronco which is just a stock Big Bend.
