We'll have "unexploded Bronco" puns just like the "unexploded Pinto" puns back in the last century.

Have we forgotten that the Explorer was for a time the Exploder in the 90s?

They made a reference to that in some family comedy I watched with my kids the other day. I think it was the movie Rat Race? Had to stop and explain the joke, because from their perspective a car just exploded for no reason, with no context.

So did the Ford Pinto. It came out in a lawsuit that the bean counters at Ford said to recall it would cost more than just dealing with the lawsuits which is why it took so long to get them off the road or fixed. I remember that now every time they finally issue a recall.
