The return of the Ford Bronco has been met with approval on the behalf of anyone who likes revamped, maneuverable off-road classics, and Ford has been keen to make the most of it. Which now means that we could possibly be seeing Bronco-only dealerships in the very near future. One hundred stores have already taken Ford up on the offer.

This idea actually originated from the dealers themselves, not from Ford, reports. That’s because demand is so high that it actually makes sense to invest the money in building a different showroom specifically for the Bronco, Bronco Sport, and all future models or derivatives. And, as a bonus, Ford will be rewarding those dedicated Bronco dealerships with a slightly higher product allocation.

It likely isn’t going to be a bad strategy. Bronco reservations are converting to sales at over 65 percent, which is a pretty impressive statistic, since reservations were placed with a refundable down payment of a mere $100. And the Bronco Sport has sold over 23,000 units so far in the first quarter of 2021.

When you’re dealing with numbers like that, it’s almost a guarantee that you’ll not only see further Bronco models in the future but that Ford is going to milk the hype train for all it’s worth with different trim options and lifestyle merchandise.

The renders Ford provided to Automotive News show a modern but still rustic wood-paneled store that could easily double as a swanky restaurant. There’s a lounge area, a customization center, and space for a few Broncos both inside and out. It’s cute. And the goal is to create a separate space for a popular product but have it still be within the vicinity of a proper Ford dealership in order to keep the brand identity strong.

The first Broncos are scheduled to be delivered this June.

The Time Has Come Again To Extol The Virtues Of Winter Tires
It’s always a good idea to be prepared for the environment in which you regularly drive. This year, after 55,000 miles, the original equipment tires on our 2018 Buick Regal TourX were down to the wear bars and our Nevadan infrequent rains became a sketchy proposition. The plan was...

Car crashes are often difficult news stories to write. Reading about injuries and wrecked cars can wear on you and pull at your heartstrings while you sit at your keyboard composing an article. Other times, everyone’s okay, and a semi truck just dumps a full trailer of potatoes onto...

I'm Not Really Sure If This Asymmetrical Lighting Setup On My Pao Works
It’s been slow going, but my little Pao is now almost fully repaired after I smacked into a (possibly inebriated) deer a few months ago. . One of the casualties was a hard-to-replace official Pao yellow fog lamp, so I had to think of some alternatives. I’m testing a...

Blip: Okay, Peugeot, I Get It Already
The Peugot 104 was the company’s cheap, entry-level car in the 1970s, but there’s one thing it absolutely did not skimp on: telling you that some controls moved up and down. Look at those two little thumb-rollers there for, I think, the heat and fan controls? I’m not exactly...

If you’re on pretrial release, suspected of assaulting two officers at the U.S. capitol on January 6, you should probably try to stay out of trouble altogether. One man decided to go big or go home with violating his pretrial requirements and now, instead of going home, he’s going...
