In your mind, Bronco compares to what?

[Roger123]

When I think of the new Bronco I'm mentally comparing it to my previous EB's; 2 door, agile, utility, rugged, go anywhere etc. That's what I see when I look at a Gen 6 and it ticks all the boxes.

When I look at the 4-door I see a "regular" SUV, it doesn't "move" me in any way. Kinda reminds of every other Wrangler out there, meh, 4 door SUV.

I'd suspect to most people a 4 door anything is the "norm" and a 4 door Bronco makes the most sense as 4 door SUV's have been around for a few decades now (I got my DL in '83 when there weren't too may 4 door anything except sedans out there). Now all you see are 4door SUV's and trucks.

Going after the majority of the buyers on this forum? Well played. I am in the 2 door camp but let me grab some popcorn so I can watch the ensuing carnage.

I see a cross between the OG Bronco and the Defender 90. I am a 2dr guy as my kids are getting older and we already have the family car situated (Volvo XC90).

When I look at the two door I see its very limited amount of use. Yes its cool, and I will get one but as a toy not an actual people or goods mover. If your single, don't have kids, or retired the possibilities are greater for the two door option. Regular life needs something more practical to cover more bases. Most folks don't have the luxury money it takes to own the two door. The 4 door will do everything the two door can and way more. There are some negligible areas that the two door will excel at, but be honest, how many will utilize it? Two door definitely has the cool factor by an edge but only a small percentage buy it just for that reason. My 4 door will be what my kids grow up driving and what we take hunting, fishing, and overlanding. When I can afford another two door it will be just for fun.

This. As a Land Rover owner (1972 Series III), I view the new Bronco as what the new Defender should have been.

I have a family with two kids (one is a teen) so the 4-door is the best of both worlds for me. It has the same capability, functionality and fun factor as the 2-door in my opinion... it just has a couple of extra doors and a little more capacity.

Well, you seem to already have your own answer....so there you have it.

A modern one of these:

Good robust traditional body on frame 4wd family SUV, IFS up front with sold rear for a nice balance of handling/ride and utility with good ground clearance and a ton of potential offroad.

Completely agree. The more I see the 2-door the more I see the classic look that got me hooked on the Bronco in the first place. The 4-door just doesn't have that iconic look (still looks nice).

Ford clearly is viewing the Bronco as a direct competitor to the wrangler designed off the style of the 1st gen Broncos. The 2-door definitely captures that classic look better. The 4 door reminds me of a HMMWV

Totally agree. I also like the looks of the 2-door - but i do NOT have the luxury of another $50m+ to buy a 'toy' with limited practicality. If you do, have at it - but please get off your high horse while looking down at those of us that don't.

Just hopefully less flippy and murdery
