So my Wife says.......

Just remember, Jeep came from the term GP or General Purpose Vehicle which others have correctly stated Ford made for the war effort. So calling the Bronco a “GP” is completely acceptable. Now, calling it a “Jeep” is completely unacceptable!

I drive mine daily and constantly call it a jeep.

Same. My wife constantly corrects me when I call my Bronco “the Jeep.”

My wife was talking to her brother who lives in Colorado telling him we were going to drive there to visit soon. Then proceeds to tell him we were going to drive our new Jeep

Not much different than all the idiots that call a truck a car…

Hey, I resemble that remark!

According to Wikipedia:

“The English word car is believed to originate from Latin carrus/carrum "wheeled vehicle" or (via Old North French) Middle English carre "two-wheeled cart," both of which in turn derive from Gaulish karros "chariot." It originally referred to any wheeled horse-drawn vehicle, such as a cart, carriage, or wagon”

as she should. That's like hopping in a Corvette and calling it a Mustang.

I don’t call a Bronco a jeep or a jeep a Bronco or either a car, but I do call all adjustable wrenches “crescent” and all locking pliers “vise grip”...nobody‘s perfect...

I have found myself after a few beers describing to my wife certain nuances of driving my new jeep bronco.
Whatever the fuck that is.

Never seen a Jeep Bronco. Have seen a Ford Jeep though.

Suck it up, or she'll just get it in the divorce anyway....

Jeep is more realistic than a bronco 1-2 year wait fantasy.
