Plan B for Bronco

[WyoBronc]

No daddy. Don’t get an Explorer! Find something else!

Haha. That ain’t your daddy’s Explorer though. I’m open to suggestions.

And yet it's a German company that's screwing the pooch for Ford; mismanaging the whole MIC thing.

Sounds to me like FORD who is screwing themselves. Looks like they failed at Proof of Concept or Prototype.

I'm probably going to put in a reservation for this on June 1. First deliveries are expected in early 2022 and somehow I believe that more coming from a German company rather than a mismanaged American auto manufacturer. It'll be a race, who gets here first...the Bronco or I4.

Yes it's completely different, but I was/am never going to off-road my Bronco anyway...

This should be a no "brainer" for you, get the I4!

If I don't get the Bronco soon enough, my Plan B involves one of the following. Still need to decide, and still open to other options. My '95 Integra will have to hold down the fort for a daily drive for a bit longer (sold the BMW).

BMW S1000R

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS

Honda CB1000R

Or maybe something more off-road oriented (way more options, just listing two here)...

Honda CRF450RL

Honda XR650L

Thats a real hodge podge of bikes there

It boils down to: I want something fast, without too much plastic. Or I want a dual sport.

No offense but why is the CB1000R on the list then? I like that neo cafe look but it is considerably underpowered in comparison to a Speed Triple, S1000R, Super Duke, Tuono, Streetfighter, or even GSX1000S. Don't sleep on the GSX1000S, incredibly smooth and power all over the rev range. Most underrated Japanese naked for sure.

Don't look past the 690 Enduro either

If I don’t hold out for the bronco I think I will seriously regret holding out if I buy a wrangler or any other suv,

but Ford is making me feel like a cuckold, a CUCKOLD!!!

so if this gets super shitshowey I may go in an absurd different direction

or anyone have a MINT Volvo 240 or Honda Element they would like to sell me at a non ‘20/‘21 price gouge??

Love the new grille that harkens back to the old contrary to the assumption that the kidneys are just growing absurdly (x5 with throaty exhaust just drove by)
But I wish there wasn’t the solid horizontal bar splitting the grille, yes I assume it’s crash protection, but c’mon it’s bmw! They couldn’t keep the grille holes consistent and still keep the bumper rigid?

Ever sat in an old BMW, after a while they start to smell like a box of crayons. If you don’t believe me, just ask someone that has a BMW that’s a few years old. I work in a lot of different vehicles, seems like a German car thing to be honest. Anyway enjoy whatever ride you get.

The gsx1000s looks like a JetMoto, I’ve owned a S3 and it wasn’t as comfy as I expected a naked bike to be coming off a cross plane R1, the street fighter and super Duke seem similarly compromised, the Tuono is tiny... and the cb1000r is now on my list as well. Motorcycle news has a raving review.

If you want a different vehicle.... Get It. : )
This is a Bronco Forum.... So Bronco or Go.

Ford isn’t exactly earning loyalty atm

I really liked the 4 series when it first came out. I really don't like how the M3/4 look...that's just bad.

Waiting it out here, but saw this Samurai advertised at a local classic dealer

In 2018 BMW switched its parts logistics management system to SAP. On most parts there was up to a 6-month wait because the switchover was FUBAR'd beyond recognition.

Ford builds a million F-series trucks a year alone. BMW builds about 2.3M in total vehicles per year. Ford is triple that.

Lol.
