Ford's 'Baby Bronco' Rumored to Have a Real Name

The affectionately nicknamed “Baby Bronco” is due to debut later this year.

While none of us should have been shocked Ford would make this into a lifestyle vehicle, many held out hopes that the Diet Bronco would be more than a city car playing dress-up.

Confirmation that the auto would be unibody certainly took some of the wind out of its sails, but the model is still surrounded by intrigue.

The rest has to do with what Ford is actually going to call it, as nobody was positive it would hold onto the Bronco moniker.

If it’s got a record of prioritizing safety over years of development, I’ll be fine with it, and I’ll expect it to be less risky than typical idiot human drivers. If it’s a “move fast and break sh!t” outfit like Tesla or Uber, no way.
