I'd agree that it looks like their design is inspired by Jeep's "ruggedness" but that interior looks straight out of an F150 which I think is hideous. I'm really digging the 2-door version though....

 

[GCOverland]

Hmm, somehow reminds me of a Hummer..

 

[Dan JGC]

A boxy wrangler hummer look... I like wrangler much much better.

 

[xJoshxx]

that thing is fugly.

 

[JeepGCOverland]

It's awful, but sort of cool at the same time. I would take a Wrangler or GC over that all day.

 

[Btoeps74]

It looks like they used the steering wheel from the '95 era F-150's kinda.

 

[MoparKing]

I didn't do any research but that CAN'T be a real design. Ford has some decent looking cars now I just don't understand how this would fit in.

Coyote V8 is superior to the Chrysler/Jeep's V8. You all need to go this thing called the internet as use this thing called a search engine from Google. Search for "Ford Bronco" and see what pops up. Not bad looking rif on the original. Lets hope its based on the Ford Ranger rather then some POS car FWD based platform like the Explorer. Anyone catch the 4.5l diesel?? Does Chrysler jeep have anything to compete with the Ecoboost? If its based on the Ranger platform I take it over a Cherokee anyday. I am guessing the will run Baja with it just like the original.

I suggest you use this thing called the internet, then use this thing called a search engine, and look up the word "hideous". You'll probably find a picture of that Bronco there, along with its Coyote V8.

That's what you get when you give kids modeling clay and two days off school.

Google can also double as a spell check for him... Why is this guy a member on here? He obviously hates Jeep.

Hey hoss why dont you use the internet and research modern V8 design! Ooops no mention of Chrysler 5.7l. How has Chrysler done at 24 hours of Daytona with the 5.7? Good news I read on the internet Chrysler is finally ditching the cast iron block. Gee maybe it will ditch its late 50's twin plug technology too.

Nice to something besides crossovers and X5 wannabes from Ford and others. That means someone has been doing some market research and found folks still need and want a vehicle that can go off road. Ford obviously found out that when they came out with the current Explorer it left a hole in their vehicle line and that folks still want vehicles that can go off road.

... but that interior looks straight out of an F150 .

Not surprising given it's on the same platform based on an article I read. (The video seems to refer to the Ranger/Explorer platform, but...) We should know more once the Detroit auto show kicks off.

If your such a ford explorer/ ecocrap thumper why did you purchase a Jeep 3.6?

Don't feed the troll.

I have no idea why that car magazines are running with the fact that this is a new concept.

This concept was released in 2004 -- ten years ago!!!.

Here are two references to its orginal debut: 2004 Ford Bronco Concept

Has some styling from the old classic Bronco (modernized of course). Two door looks good...four door looks like a Hummer to me.

Wonder if this is in the design pipeline in order to go after Cherokee or Grand Cherokee? It's no secret that the Grand Cherokee, along with Ram pickup, is responsible for current Chrysler profitability...GC is said to be Chrysler's most profitable vehicle.

Never thumped for Explorer little boy. Read what I said. Interesting that Chrysler when it can scrounge up and R&D money from Fiat is developing a turbo Pentastar to compete with the Ecoboost. Maybe one day Chrysler/Jeep will use this engine at Sebring, the Glen and Daytona.

My little brother had a '65 Bronco (the original design) and I had a '78 one (the U-150). Both of those were very tough and very good off-road vehicles that we used hard. We used to meet at some land he owned in West Virginia to hunt and it was only reachable with a 4x4. More than once, we had to assist other 4x4's in getting in there. He also used his to make money plowing snow in the winter while attending college. The only complaint I had about mine was that with the 351 engine and a manual tranny, it only got about 12 mpg (15 if you were going downhill with a strong tailwind). The 35 gallon tank mitigated that except when you filled up.

It's kinda like an FJ cruiser/hummer/old wagoneer mix. Kinda retro looking- not the fugliest truck I've seen. Could you imagine a 4.5 L diesel powering an SUV?

I'm sure it'll be more refined and less boxy. I'm actually quite impressed with the Ford Ecoboost engines. If Jeep doesn't get their crap together with these latest screw-ups and mega-delays and if FIAT screws up the design of the upcoming Jeeps you may be talking to a future Ford owner.
