    I’m a big fan of how the wrangler looks, and I’ve started to see the bronco show up everywhere. My first though has always been “hey, that’s a cool looking jeep-like vehicle”.

    Depending on price and performance I wouldn’t mind getting a bronco over a jeep if they weee fairly similar.

      It helps that the Bronco has a lot newer tech in it, IMO rides better, and can still stand toe to toe with a Wrangler on the trail. I'm expecting Chrysler to really up the game on the next generation of Wrangler hopefully. It finally has some really good competition again, and I hope that really spurs some innovation.

    But, why is Stellantis not evaluated on nationwide sales? Could this be an instance for them to sue if out-sold, due to the government rules being applied inconsistently?

      It appears that 5 automakers including Ford have made a deal with California to have their total sales in all states go toward CARB compliance. Currently California is not accepting new members into this club for reasons that I do not know. I'll be honest I did just skim the article though. How this works legally is out of my field, but here is at least the why.

    Haven driven both, I'm a huge fan of the Bronco. It's just way more comfortable for everyday use.
