Very anxious to see 2 door version!!!!!

I wouldn't do anything other than the 2-Door for full-retro effect!

Why not fold flat or be easily removed? Here's the popular fold and tumble aftermarket seat for the early Broncos. Something like this would be super practical but not sure about safety with airbag requirements or what not.

Same as Bronco's when they went full size. Fold and flip forward, always worked well for me. Now if you can give me a drop down tailgate with a window that rolls down into it, I'm good to go. But like others have stated, the space you have in back of a 2dr wrangler, just doesn't cut it, seat or no seat. Hope they give us a little something back there.

Definitely some cladding on the front edge of the bumper and bumper corners too.

I don't think you can do a tailgate without a swing out for the tire, and I'm not seeing it in these photos

Another thought on headlights - the leaked headlight we saw looked like a halogen/reflector style. This one could be an LED headlight?

That's my thought - these could be the upgraded LED lights

Is the roof camo padded?

Almost undoubtedly. There's a weird several inch tall ridge all the way around the outside of the roof. Presumably they want to disguise actual height and the angle of the rear.

You can also see that the extra material is bunched up at the back where the actual window presumably slopes forward and the camo is straight up and down.

hope that test driver is tall.....really really tall because it kinda looks smallish to me

 

[Rogues Gambit]

What is the point? To camouflage more?

Yes

I think the vehicle in the pics has a fake box on top (to throw off the proportions), or maybe a rack over the whole top (?), I think the final vehicle top (not including any rack) will be maybe 4 or 5 inches lower than what those pics show.
Overall looks good, overall proportions, correct me if I'm wrong, are about the same as the former Jeep Commander.

I don't know, look how deep the rear lights are behind the camo which I assume are flush with the rear door.. There could be room for a swing gate....maybe the center mounted light is attached to it.

Could be. I would expect more of a side open rear like Jeep than a tailgate. But tailgate would be much better imo. Rear window in my wrangler was such a PITA sometimes.

What's up with the B pillar? Do they have to unwrap this thing every time they get in it, or are they trying to cover up removable doors? Looks like a bulge in front of the drivers door.

Here's the big thing with the Bronco...they really need to price this thing right.

The KIA Telluride is selling like mad...so fast they cannot keep up with production or keep them on the lots...the value is just absurd for that thing....

Now KIA is rumoring to be bringing a 'S' version (like Audi) and also an Off-road version with bulkier tires like jeeps have, skid plates, roof rack & side compartments, etc.

I know they are different in the sense of the prospective buyer, but it's something to consider.

Most of my questions are aft of the 'B' pillar. One unknown is whether there is built-in storage for doors/tops...I kinda recall reading something about that.

There may be more padding in the hood/fender areas than we're visualizing...it could be obscuring the hood 'bump'

Is the antenna interesting in any way? The way it's so, old school?

I agree side open is more likely. Tailgate or not, I really hope the rear window rolls down and isn't attached to the top like a wrangler
