I have no idea what's happened to the Ford Motor Company, but they seem completely and totally disconnected from the consumer and it's been this way for at least 12-15 years now.
You make a great point in the SUV world. My first thought when I saw the new Bronco was, wow! an FJ Cruiser replica and a badly done one at that!
We all know what Bronco was and should be, this ain't it.
