Update on the new Mini FJ…coming to the USA soon?

[p nut]

Undetermined at this point. But, I was looking at a new 2 door Badlands w/ V6 (Non Sasquatch). MSRP is 71K marked down to 62K.

But, then I see new Rubicon 2 doors with more equipment for 58K. Shouldn't a Rubicon and Sasquatch be pretty close in price? If I added Sasquatch to that Bronco the 'on sale' price would be 70K... That's nuts.

Both below are V6, Auto, Heated seats & steering wheel, remote start.... Which is basically all I'd want.

I don't know if I see the Bronco being worth an extra 10K.

It depends on your usage. For rock crawling, Jeep wins. For daily use and longer road trips, I’d say Bronco.

Mostly daily use. Exploring on the weekends. I'd agree on Bronco but, 10K more.... I just don't see the added value.

I don't see the prices of any of these being realistic, honestly, it's just ridiculous where new car prices have gone. I thought the Grenadier was bad, but when looked at in this context, not so much I guess..

For context, I'm in Canada. So the ads I posted are in CDN funds. Still damn expensive though.... That midlevel non Sasquatch Bronco is a 40K vehicle IMO.

Bare bones base 2 door Broncos are 55K here..... Bare bones base Wrangler's can be had for upper 30's...

Don't get me started on the new 4Runners. I had a quick peek and that was enough. Even used ones are insane.

It’s definitely not worth the $10k, I agree.
Jeep is fine for daily use as well. I think the extra room in the bronco might suit some people better.

Plus, in my opinion, Jeep looks so much better.

These are web prices. Who knows how desperate a particular Ford GM might be. Walk into one where they have one in stock and make an offer. Worst case if you walk out truckless. I got a F350 that way. Should have been ~$15K more but I was in the right dealership at the right month end..... As they say money talks......

I actually talked to the sales manager about the Bronco. He's not budging off his price and is showing me wholesale on my truck which is approx 10K less than average asking price.... pass...

Yup that situation would be a hard pass for me too. I'd leave my phone # just in case, but yeah I'd be moving on to other options.

Just talked to the Jeep dealer. Brand new Rubi is 4K less than the Bronco Badlands and they're showing me 5K more for my truck than Ford....

Stellantis be desperate to move some iron, lol

I actually ended up buying that Rubicon that I posted above on Saturday. Gave me a pretty good trade in value on my truck too.

About the only places I have seen any info regarding the FJ has been on click bait sites. While I think there may be something to the FJ by Toyota, I will believe it when Toyota starts putting them on the show room floor. Kinda like the long rumored Ford Maverick fighter, the Toyota Stout. Been 2-3 years now, and still nothing.
