Mazda always has the best concepts. Sure some of them are goofy but the bulk are so awesome they're allowed to have one or two that look inbred.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

Nope, it's a Ranger grille! the Explorer and Bronco were both Ranger derivatives.

And they were actually Landcruisers in the book. Downsizing for 'merica! :911:

...and in The Lost World, they used the Mercedes ML-class as their GRR TOUGH OFFROADER, since I'm sure Mercedes put up a chunk of money to make sure their all-new ML-class was front and center. Hooray product placement!

e: Also, that grille looks like the regular 91-94 Explorer grille to me.

That's literally what happened. Jeff Goldblum also got one for free to show up at MB headquarters to say, "Hi," when the movie was released.

Oh yeah, I know they put up a bunch of money for the placement. Poor choice of words, I suppose.

They have one of the movie MLs on display in the museum at their plant outside Birmingham, Alabama, where they've made those pieces of poo poo since they were introduced.

What is it with Brits and bad puns, especially when it comes to car names? It's getting ridiculous on a couple of the British-based car forums I read.

For instance, Cistern or Shitroen instead of Citroën, Pickarsehole instead of Picasso, Mondingo istead of Mondeo, Vulva instead of Volvo, and the list goes on and on.

I think that particular brand of dim wit is localised to car forums (this one excepted for the most part)

As someone who spends alot of time around car folks and mechanics alike, I have never heard any of those. Maybe Shitroen once or twice.

While the Explorer was a derivative of the Ranger (a 1/4 ton truck) the Bronco sure wasn't. That's based on an F150. It then became the Expedition, with the Excursion being similar but based on the F250/350.

The only thing called "Bronco" that was based on the Ranger was the short-lived Bronco II, which was just an Explorer before they called it that.
