2016 Ford Bronco Release is a fake. Here's how to tell.

With the excitement of the release of the 2015 Ford F150, rumors spread of a possible Bronco as well.  The internet and social media ate it up.  Word spread quickly and generated quite some excitement.  However, as a person who does renderings and plays with Photoshop, there are several tell tales that say the release images are fake and are digitally created.

Comparing the original photo with the new bronco photo, here's what the "untrained" eye didn't see.

Carefully look at this comparison image.  You can tell the Bronco is taken from the F150 image on the right.  The window reflections, angle of the picture, and all other features are the same.  This shows us that if the Bronco was a true, created concept vehicle, both vehicles had to have been parked in the exact same spot and the photo taken from the exact same angle.

However, in this image, if both vehicles were at the exact same spot, the reflection in the back window, says otherwise.  The lines and reflections would be the exact same with added reflections thanks to the Bronco's larger quarter glass.  That isn't the case.

The same holds true of the rear image.  Look at the reflections and the background as you look through the passenger window.  The structure and reflections are all the same.

Taking a second glance, you will notice both back glasses have the exact same reflection.  The Bronco's slightly altered to match the recreated back half.  The same reflection still wouldn't hold true if the image of the Bronco was real.

I don't think anyone has said that these images were real.  However, there are many sites that are pushing and saying the release itself is real, even as far as mentioning engine options.  There are well known automotive sites, such as Edmunds, that do not have any info supporting the Bronco's release.  So for now, we sit and wait on Ford to see if they will truly resurrect the Bronco.
