Highly, highly disagree with you on both of these.The 3 vs 4 piece roof is a novelty, same as the mirrors on the door or the body. It's something a car dealer will use to sell an average Joe looking to look cool.
For those that don’t care to take their top off ever and wish their wrangler/bronco had a permanent top, this won’t make a difference. The 3 piece vs. 4 piece hardtop, for someone like me who was cross shopping Jeep vs. Bronco primarily for the open top experience, this is the difference between having to buy a complicated hanging system in my garage, and being able to take it off and throw it in the corner. Not to mention, if I’m careful, taking it off by myself vs. NEEDING a sending person, period. The 3 piece top with the huge overhang adds weight and size and makes it so unwieldy to the point where unless you have one of those fancy hangars in your garage, it really discourages taking the top off in general.
The mirrors are definitely not a gimmick too. That’s the other reason myself and many others are shopping the 2 models…the ability to take the doors off. Yes, not everywhere legally requires mirrors. But why the hell wouldn’t you want them to be able to see around you and drive more safely? I sure do. Especially with the doors off….I’d rather take extra precautions and be even more cautious about lane changes when I’m doorless. It’s an easy design feature that Jeep could have thought about with the JL/JT design, but chose to maintain the status quo and either let the consumer pay them more through Mopar accessories, or through the aftermarket.
Thats why people that are die hard Jeepers are excited about the Bronco. It will force innovation on Jeep’s end that will make a better overall product. They’ve been the only vehicle of its type in the market for so long that they’ve really gotten lazy and just relied on the deep-rooted fan base and the fact that there is no competitor to maintain sales growth and avoid innovation.
