Ford Announces Bronco will be Sold in China

[ths0002]

I can't wait to see it be reverse engineered by BAIC, GAC, or one of the other CCP owned manufacturers and given goofy headlights or something.

Didn't hear this one. I agree.

So for those not keeping track...

Bronco is offered in the...

• United States
• Canada
• Mexico
• Middle East
• South Korea
• Mainland Europe (namely Germany)

And soon... China.

Just blows my mind they haven't yet sold it in the Australian market. Makes no sense to me... because it seems like it would be perfect for Australia. I'm guessing the only reason why it isn't is because Aussies inherited left-hand traffic from England.

I would be all for the Aussies getting the bronco. Those guys are awesome at aftermarket stuff and would love for them to put their touch on things. Have you *seen* the stuff that aussies make for toyotas? It's amazing.

Looks like Twister Orange. The exact color I've been wanting to see on the Bronco!

Yep like all the bait and switch promo shots that ended up as COM. I love my COM but this would have been better. Somebody posted a wrapped one on BN that looks painted. It's very nice on the Bronco.

Do you really think a Chinese buyer is going to wait a year or more to get a Bronco? Ford can't even take care of the domestic market.

THis is pretty unique for that market, especially the truck - so, maybe!

They will build and pay for the plant in China and the CCP will build them. Can only deliver one bad top in China or else.

"the CCP will build them...." OMG, really? "The CCP" will own a Ford factory?

"CCP" does not own those companies - do your research.

Are you sure you did? Are you saying the CCP isn't the state? Are we doing that level of semantics? Because those automakers are state-owned, and the CCP definitely controls the state.

Do you know WHY Jeep "pulled out" of China ?

Stellantis can make it political in their press releases, but in reality they have a 40+++ year old product that is over priced and domestic companies are killing it with amazing EVs -- that the domestc market preferes - because that market prefreres : new new new - over old clunky Jeeps that they dont even use off road anyway.

Dont believe the Stellantis press release -
