Anyone who’s had to purchase a new vehicle this year knows that not only are pickings slim, but dealers across the country are adding hundreds or thousands of dollars over the MSRP.

One of the most popular vehicles that Ford has made in many years is the new Bronco. The automaker has been taking orders for the Bronco online and has been taking a lot of them. Recently, Ford sent a memo to dealerships telling them that they had paused the Bronco reservation system.

Remember when Volkswagen lied about its diesel emissions and had to buy back hoards of cars? Well its best chance to lure American buyers back to the brand isn’t in the form of a new diesel engine, but in the form of what they say is the best bumper-to-bumper warranty in the US.

There may have been a question in some people’s minds as to how the all-new aluminum bodied F-150 would be received by buyers when it was first announced. Now that the truck is on the market, buyers are clamoring for it and Ford has run into a slowdown that might affect its ability to meet demand.
