HOW Close Will The All-new Ford Bronco Look Compared To The All-new Defender?

Over the past couple of years there's been a tremendous buzz for the all-new Ford Bronco. It's been amazing to have all sorts of folks talk to me about the latest truck that is being conjured up by the Blue Oval.

Old, young, both genders, white collar and blue collar. One thing's certain: The Bronco love doesn't discriminate.

And, in parallel, another vehicle is ready to launch. That would be the Land Rover Defender. Boxy trucks are as "in" as ever.

This got us wondering, a bit. One thing we know about Ford is that its designs tend to mimic other high-end luxury products. Take, for example, how the Explorer mimicked the big daddy Range Rover. The Fusion took some cues from Aston Martin with its trademark front grille. Then the Lincoln Continental showed Bentley some love.

There's an established pattern here.

So, we've got to ask: How close will the all-new Bronco look compared to the all-new Defender?

Since all of these vehicles have a similar shape - you could say that a new Bronco would look like just about all of them.

THe original Bronco was I suppose "cute" looking - but it was a real disaster as a Vehicle - if they try to make it that short and stubby - I would not even try one. But at lest in this case - it is likely the FORD would be far more reliable than the Rover

They will look very similar. The Bronco will likely hit the mark. The Defender will be a new truck with its own look and have the Defender name slapped on it. Just like the Supra and NSX. If you really don't want to do a good job creating a successor, don't bother.

The defender looks like a Honda Element.

i wonder if the "mini Bronco" will be about that size?

Honda Element
Kia Soul
Lada Niva Urban 4x4 (this would be fun)

It does look like an Element, but I'm waiting to see the 90, from all angles.
