Ford is releasing two Broncos, the full size seen here and a "Sport" which is like meh...looks like an escape on steroids.
There is NO MARKET for a 3 door Bronco.... 3 door Ford never sell well, the Bronco II, the Explorer Sport, the full size bronco.... I would be really surprised if they offer a 3 door version......If they do I would think it would be more like an FJ or Ranger with two smaller suicide style doors...so still a 5 door body.

Anyone who thinks the Bronco looks like a Jeep needs to remember Ford built some of the first Jeeps! Same time as Willys and way before AMC or Chrysler had any say in the design. 
The early bronco also had the classic round headlight look back in 1966, all land cruisers, scouts, and Jeeps came AFTER the Ford "Jeep" grill design


"The familiar pressed-metal Jeep grille was a Ford design feature and incorporated in the final design by the Army."
