as much as I would love that. I understand why ford has not, they want a YUGE event, then satellite events after. To let people see in person as much as possible first.
How many people have they turned off by dragging this on though? There are some killer deals on vehicles right now. There's some merit to an online reveal in the current environment.
Honestly, I don't think there are all that many people who are going to pick up a new vehicle on a great deal right now that aren't going to be open to then swapping to a Bronco in 2-3 years, which lines them up nicely with a 2nd or 3rd model year Bronco. You're right they won't be day 1 buyers, but they may not have been anyways. Lots of people will be waiting for the second model year as with any new product. It isn't like the Bronco was going to be available for purchase this month before all this madness.
Yes I'm not sure how things are normal by May. Virus will still exist. Can still take off with social interactions. What will have changed? What was all this, if in May everyone is hanging out spreading the virus?
I got sick of hearing about the "upcoming" NSX. The intial car was subpar. I still don't care about it. It's a numbers car. Eh. However if I saw a 90's NSX I'd be fanboying. Especially since I'm a Senna fan. My father is truck shopping right now because of the current deals. He doesn't NEED a new truck. But financially it make sense for him since he plans on replacing his 2500 with a half ton in the next few years. And honestly for my needs a truck would suffice....I just have my mind set on a Bronco. It seems like ford has built a proper product, but having a soft or online reveal would really put my mind at ease and make it easier to wait for. I don't mind waiting if they deliver. I don't really understand the appeal of pulling the covers off in front of a couple hundred people(the media) vs an online reveal in front of thousands. I, as a customer, don't get anything from them revealing it in person vs online. Aren't we the ones they should be appealing to?
Sort of. But us on this forum aren't going to be the bulk of the sales. The people who are desperately following every shred of Bronco info aren't the ones they really need to convince. It's the mass of people that they need to reach by having every media outlet talking about the Bronco and how great it is.
I keep vehicles for 10+ years, unless they have started giving major problems. If I buy something else now, it will be a long time before I'm going to be back in the market for a vehicle....... and I'm not the one who feels this way.
If you ask a room full of rocket scientists to name the most powerful force in the universe, they'll tell you it is "inertia" - as it takes much more energy to move a stationary object than to alter the course of one already in motion. If this forum is at all indicative, Ford has won themselves a pile of Bronco inertia.
Same. Given the brunt of vehicle depreciation typically takes place driving off the lot and in the first few years of ownership, seems like people buying a new car every 2-3 years might be taking a financial hit? Some folks are not going to unload a new car to get a Bronco.
