Leaked images surface of the upcoming Ford Bronco… or Baby Bronco

This also means we shouldn’t have been seeing any images of the Bronco for another couple of months, barring a Ford-released teaser image or two. This past week, however, some images of the model, or possibly of the much-talked-about Baby Bronco, were shown at a dealers’ meeting in Las Vegas, and these were dutifully photographed and made their way online.

Might Ford have had something to do with this leak? We’ll never know, but there’s no doubt the free publicity it gains from it shouldn’t be too displeasing to the automaker, especially as we’re on the eve of the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The images

And what do they reveal? For starters, we’ve learned that the contours of the new Bronco (or baby Bronco) clearly link back to the original model, which debuted back in 1966, via its square shape and relative paucity of rounded curves.

Ford is clearly gearing up to go right after Jeep’s Wrangler, and sees no reason to be subtle about it.
