Ford is raising a few eyebrows for the peculiar release date of its new Bronco SUV: July 9, or the birthday of O.J. Simpson.

Not surprising at all, given the current cultural climate.

If it's on purpose, it is indeed bizarre. But I suspect it just happened by coincidence. How likely is Ford to research whose birthday it is when they announce the debut of a new car?

If the connection is intentional, it's certainly in bad taste.

me and Clyde is the only two that ain't gone nuts and he drives a Ford

Are we about to see more helicopter shots of very slow chases???

They think of everything that increases their profits. They don't care about poor taste unless it hits them in the pocketbook.

Money always trumps bad taste.

Ford is desperate to sell their crap.

The "Nichole" model comes with a removable top. I know, but I could not resist.

Money always trumps bad taste.

Unfortunately that can be true.

I wonder if red, will be everyone's favourite choice in colour.

How many of you even knew that July 9 is O.J.'s birthday? And exactly, how is debuting the new Bronco on that date supposed to increase sales?
Ford was originally going to debut the Bronco on March 23 ,or May 21. What, you don't know?????????
March 23 is Clyde Barrow's, birthday, and May 21 is when he was killed in his 1934 Ford. He preferred to steal Fords.
See, I can make up stuff, like Fox News.

How fitting for a company that produced so many disasters - like the Pinto.

I visited the car they were killed in when it was on display near Las Vegas & I photographed a letter Clyde wrote to Henry Ford (before a security guard told me not to take photos).

Letter from Clyde Barrow.
