Drove around for a couple hours in the H today in 94* heat. 2 observations:
The auto AC is really good. The thing blows ice cubes almost immediately.
Finally got to try the coolers. Holy shit these things are strong. It immediately felt like I was sitting on a cold slab of marble. Even the lowest setting was cold. Very well done.

I'm pretty amazed that they're building the 2 door. JL 2 door volume is tiny compared to the 4-door. I'd be really curious to drive the Bronco 2-door to see if they fixed physics somehow.
I bet the fake roader will be the top volume now that the Escape looks so

Bronco teaser clip.
I see they took a page from book though, the engine noises in the background of the video sound like
They should offer this with a V8.

V8's are so hard to do now in volume because of .gov regulations. They're all but dead, sadly.
