    We bought a Bronco II new in 1983. Compared to the VehiCROSS it WAS a POS. If you took a turn at anything over a crawl, it would lift the inside wheel off the ground. The engine was leaking oil out of every seam at 60K. With it's 5-speed manual tranny and 2.8 V6, you measured 0-60 times in minutes, not seconds. We happily unloaded it at 80K with no intention of ever buying another. (And my ex-wife DID take it 4-wheeling on a few occassions.)

    Compared to the VehiCROSS almost every thing is a POS.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
