Ford is celebrating the Ford Bronco’s lengthy 60-year legacy with a special anniversary edition.  The first-generation Bronco was introduced on August 11, 1965. Now in its sixth generation, the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order in October with the 4-door Outer Banks model equipped with the brawny Bronco Sasquatch package.

Why the Bronco is so special

Considered the first sport-utility vehicle by many, the Bronco has always combined off-road capability and performance since its introduction. Even though production was suspended for 25 years from 1996 to 2021, Bronco fans, old and new, welcomed the announcement of its return and eagerly awaited the closest competitor to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

Porsche

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation
