I dunno...I've driven the ecoboost with the 10spd tranny. I'm not a fan of the bouncy up and down shifting constantly...and I mean constantly. I'd like to see this paired with a 6 speed.

I'm not sold on the Bronco Sport yet...

"The Bronco Sport is based on the Ford Escape, and while we don't have specific information on its powertrain, expect it to offer the same setup underneath its chiseled body"

"We expect the base engine to be a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder"

Ever drive a Ford rental car with a four cylinder?...miserable.

The Bronco Sport is meant to go up against the likes of the Jeep Renegade.

The full-on Bronco is where it's at, though. Removable top. What looks like 33" tires from the factory (with room for 35's). Boxy style.

Although the latest photos almost make it look too Jeep-like, it's still miles better than the Defender rolling on low-pro tires.

Autoblog review. As the press embargo is lifted, we should start getting tons of them now - including from the journalists that went to Namibia.

On sucky news, the Slovakia plant has been closed since 3/20 .. (UK plants are shut down as well.) Who knows when I'll my new Defender now.
