I really like it, although it doesn't look like a good match for UK roads in terms of size, so I'm not particularly sad that it's not coming here. If it did, I'm sure that they'd follow the Jeep pricing strategy, adding a massive premium over $ pricing.

If I lived in the US I'd definitely be interested, would be a no-brainer over a Wrangler (uggggggly!) or new Defender. Ford not perfect in terms of reliability, but still light years ahead of Land Rover.

Looking at the Bronco dimensions it's about the same size as a New Defender..

Plenty of larger Euro vehicles than the Bronco.

Wrangler looks awesome IMO.

Unfortunately the Bronco was never made with Europe in mind, the designer who is English said that it was made for the American market which is lot less restrictive than the EU regulations. You never know, they brought over the Mustang muscle car. Interestingly the Bronco sport has a 3 pot 1500cc Eco boost engine which is incredibly small for a American car? Maybe they could mate that engine in the hardcore Broncos for the UK market?
