Re: ICON bronco?
The body lines are super tight and I love the frenched in front bumper. The design is different enough to separate it from the crowd while still being true to the classic.

Re: ICON bronco?
They are crazy if they think it's going to get 25 mpg.

Re: ICON bronco?
I like it but the price tag (they did not publicize that) would have scared the sh** out of me. Jayson

Re: ICON bronco?
Love it! Prefer the cut look, and if they can actually pull of 20+ mpg... Wow, Just wow

Re: ICON bronco?
over on CB.com they are guessing the price to be 100k +
I will take my EB with upgrades like a 5.0 and 47rw with 12 - 15 mpg and save at least 80k

Re: ICON bronco?
I dig the instrument cluster, the suspension & how the exhaust was run. The leafs kind of get in the way of how they did the rear exhaust exit, so it would be nice like they have done. Not a fan of the "ICON" all over like on the grill, tailgate & especially not on the Sport emblem.

Re: ICON bronco?
If I had money to burn, I might have to get one. With that kinda mileage, I could send it with my wife to work everyday! I am anxious to see updated pictures before I say I like it or not. I hate the tires on the rendering. Looks like 8.50's mounted on 12" wide wheels.

Pictures from 2011 Sema: Wish they were mine, but came from a thread on CO4x4.

Re: ICON bronco?
No thanks. Though some of the parts we talked about making in the other thread were loosley inspired by some of ththis stuff.
I'm a stickler for proper design. This Bronco, while nice, just doesn't seem to have "it". My opinion only, of course.

Re: ICON bronco?
Nice truck overall, but not for the money. I don't like the front bumper, too chunky. I'd rather see the winch exposed. Overall, its a little too clean. Beautifully done, just not my taste in Broncos. I just like the look of the old original parts like the stock bare iron M/C, exposed engine block and OG steel wheels.

Re: ICON bronco?
Exactly - I knew it was near 100k, but I didn't think it'd be over!! And by a LOT!
It's a niche market to be sure!

Re: ICON bronco?
Even if I had $150K+ sitting around, this wouldn't be the answer for my "dream Bronco"

Re: ICON bronco?
There's a couple of parts off here that might be nice to have if they ever sold them seperately. The wiper system sounds nice. Otherwise no thanks. I don't like all of the overbranding and most of what they've done, esp for that price.

Re: ICON bronco?
Thats pretty cool. I wouldnt mind something like that as a daily driver, but could never justify the cost. If it was mass produced I am sure the price tag would drop tremendously.
I don't see why it cant get 25 mpg. that's closer to normal these days, New F 150s are 20-21 and weight double the EB does around 6100 lbs.

Re: ICON bronco?
It's cool and different ...Def, not my style ... OUCH! Crazy Price Tag Most Broncos look very similar nice to see a fresh approach and different direction. Most could achieve this look for far less MULA
