People got tired of the over done lowrider and ricer cars from back in the day where is was a competition to see who could bolt the most stuff onto a honda civic. They wanted something different.
Now they have switched to the current wranglers. They have turned into nothing more than glorified ricers. They are just taller with bigger tires. All they do is try and see who can bolt on the most pointless aftermarket crap they can. Angry grilles, fenders, fender flares, hoods, door and body kits, and every type of doodad they can find. Then they add a lift with big wheels and low profile all terrain tires and then drive around the city showing it off. They drive around a gravel parking lot and call it wheeling. They never take them to actual off road trails because they do not want to get them dirty or damage any of their bolt on doodads or scratch their wheels.
I have a feeling the new bronco may go the same way. There will be a few people actually use them offroad like designed (like some some jeep owners) but I feel the majority of them will be like my above mentioned jeeps. You can not deny it will not happen.
As far as putting a hurting on jeep sales. I say good. Everyone needs competition, no one can stay on top forever. Competition breeds innovation.
