Ford : Bronco Sport First, let me just say that you'll get a very honest opinion of this Bronco and feel free to check my over 2,200 all positive comments in my feedback profile. Secondly, I'll be up front and tell you that this Bronco was up for 29K and I ended up purchasing it as a frame off restored, "turn key" vehicle. Here's what really irked me and needs to be finished: The gauge cluster was rebuilt, but he speedometer was obviously not hooked up The high/low light switch is just dangling by a wire and needs to be mounted (see picture) The rubber seals needs to be installed on the doors The driver's door doesn't have an arm rest (I was supposed to receive it in the mail, but nothing has come) The back seat has no arm rests (Also supposedly in the mail) The new gas tank wasn't tightened down (I'll tighten the strap myself) A knob fell off on the floor (I'll put that back on with an allen wrench) I'd repaint the doors, as they are a shade off the rest of the truck The emergency brake wasn't hooked up (he told me it just needed to welded back on the frame) He didn't attach the passenger side wiper arm (I do have it thankfully!) I know this is all small potatoes stuff for those who love, drive and fix Bronco's, but I'm only the first two of those things and thought I was getting a truck that was thoughtfully restored. Quite honestly, it seems to have been slapped together for a quick sale. What a shame, it's really a nice truck that should have received better treatment in the restoration process. Okay that written, here's what was done in the restoration process: New Original color Sequoia Brown base/ clear coat paint 302 with Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb B.C. Broncos shorty headers with Magnaflow exhaust B.C. Broncos A.C. Rhino Lined floors in matching Sequoia Brown color Newly recovered parchment colored front and rear seat New windshield and rubber New Rampage "spice" colored soft top Custom front and rear bumpers with tire carrier Pro Comp Wheels and BFG AT2 Tires 31" HID Projector Headlights with angel eyes and devil eyes New Parchment seat belts Wild Horses 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift New "ventless" hood New tail light, turn signal lenses and rebuilt gauge cluster New window track and felt kit from Wild Horses Rebuilt Vent Windows Power Disc Brakes As you can see in the pictures, this Bronco was a frame off restoration and the frame was beautifully powder coated and you can see how solid the body is, including the uncut fenders! The motor runs strong with no leaks or smoke and she starts, stops, shifts and tacks down the road with no issues at all. It runs so great and has so much potential, I was considering taking it to Brian at Build a Bronco in Albion and asking him to finish the truck and put a hard top on it. In fact, I do love all the options, including the brand new air conditioning unit, power disc brakes and power steering, as it's a tough combo to find in the early year Broncos. In addition, there's all new bushings on the front end, the hood was actually installed with nice hydraulic lifts and the interior looks great. Someone who is willing to do the finishing touches will certainly be getting a Bronco that worth well into the 30's, as it will need nothing once it's finished.

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728

Fri, May 6 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at:Â Podcast@Autoblog.com.

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
