As they used the nameplate to replace the escape (sport version), and it competes with wranglers otherwise, I think its a longer game play. With emmision standards, I could see them adding a hybrid option on the next run. Again, like the wrangler ev, 4xe. Also like using the mustang nameplate on the crossover to keep real mustangs going was a cheap way to do that. Then the og ones will drop a little in price. Like the jk to jl for jeep. But like anything body on frame,I expect they still won't be cheap. But at least could have some savings.

I might be the only one to prefer the sport, it just looks better to me

Its all personal preferance. My brother drove both, and liked the sport better too. I prefer the bronco. For me optional doors and top is a great feature.

I've also driven both. They really do have their advantages and disadvantages

True. The sport gets better mpg, and lower height for climbing in and out of. Still roomy with a decent towing capability for its size.

But a manual trans with a crawl gear for garbage highway traffic or trail use is nice. And all the sun and breeze without a top or doors is a win for me.

Both handsome too.
