ICON Bronco
If you have followed my blog(s) long enough you get a sense that I love two things about the automotive field, classic design and new technology. I have written specifically about how great it would be if someone were to take some of the old ICON's of the industry and build them on a new chassis with cutting edge equipment. It seems that I am not the only one thinking this way.
Icon 4X4 has been doing this for a while now. This article from Autoblog.com highlights the thinking behind their newest product, the ICON Bronco. It looks to me like they have created a beautiful lineup of products for that niche group of buyers who are upscale in their wealth quotient, but still down to earth in their personality.
If you want glitz there are other products for less money. If you want pure brawn, it can be had from a rebuild of an existing platform, also for less money. But if you are a fan of actual ability in your vehicle with a classic flair, this may be what you have been waiting for. Oh, you will also need around $150K...

Wouldn't it be nice...

If you follow my blog posts you will remember my near constant rant about American manufacturers and the lack of a basic, workhorse type of truck. With today's diesel technology and new nano materials it is easy to envision a really functional design equipped with a 4 or 6 cylinder HO diesel engine (or both). The Ford Bronco would be a great re-emergent design that could come in both the base truck, and convertible SUV format. There is a huge demand for a utility, no fluff, truck. Dodge/RAM is now touting the "Sportsman" version of their truck but I believe they have missed the point. Sportsmen do not need an extras package to add to a base truck. They want a bare bones dependable truck that is economical and masculine.
In review... American truck, mid size, 4-6 cylinder diesel, basic and cheap (please).
