The Article is saying about this SUV will be marketed as a BABY BRONCO (BRONCO Concept shown below - Which was showcased sometime ago at Detroit Auto Show)

But the FORD BRONCO was a Off Road American hero in the 70s & 80s with proper Body on frame architecture, but the BABY BRONCO will be based on Focus

The Bronco was iconic. My wife’s cousin in America has an old 1970’s beater which he has fully restored. Lovely 4WD vehicle. Ideal for those trail drives in Summer.
This avatar of the new baby Bronco would be lovely to own someday if it ever comes to India.
It’s tough 4WD stance and retro styling make it really stand out. Quite like the new Jimny in some sense.
But getting such a vehicle here in India I am guessing, will remain a pipe dream for us!

Looks to be bigger than both Jimny and Renegade, from these above pics.

Jimny is not even close!

Why did they call the All New Ford Flex the New Ford Bronco?
