Not strictly my kind of car, but I kind of dig the new Bronco. Any of you planning on committing some murders and going on the run in one?

I like the styling. $60k+ seems high for the loaded models, but people pay $100k for Escalades, so maybe it isn't that bad.

Step right up! Be the first to glom onto a new 2021 Stellantis!


Fiat Peugeot are so embarrassed with Chrysler Dodge they're changing the corporate name in hopes the public will forget they're actually buying a Chrysler product.

It’s an interesting car, for sure. Starting at around $30,000, there’s a lot of room and a lot of trim levels for you to build what you want. I imagine the lower priced models will inevitably give you a much better bang for your buck.

They’re not changing branding, though. Just the corporate name.

Yeah, I like the new Bronco. Wonder if it gets better gas mileage than a Jeep. I haven't read anything about it, just looked at some online pics.

I think it will especially with the four banger ecoboost. But my experience with the ecoboost has been less then positive.

Isn't that only for the First Edition Broncos that they are only building 3500 of?

Why does anyone pay dealership prices for service? My A4 is due for it's 40K service which I knew going in wasn't cheap (DSG fluid change, new plugs, oil change, etc...).

Dealer quote minus oil change (I have a free one left) was ~$850

Local Euro tuning shop quote $650

Local one man shop who specializes in Germans $450

That dealer markup is crazy (also knew that going in).

Dealers make their profits on used car resale, repair and new car sales, in that order...
