Looks more like its inspired by the Land Rover Defender 90 to me. I don't really see the resemblance to a Bronco.

I see elements of both. All three are in the same rough genre. http://imgur.com/a/E5XKY
That was my immediate reaction as well - looks very like a "proper" Land Rover!
1966-1977 Ford Bronco.[1]

The Defender was a lighter vehicle, closer to a Jeep Wrangler. Both came with roll cages. The Bollinger lacks that, and has a flimsy cab. It needs a roll cage.

No, the Defender didn't come with a roll cage, at least not most of them. The American-spec versions that were imported for three years in the 90's had factory-supplied Safety Devices cages but most rest-of-world (ROW) Defenders did not.

Looks like a Series III Land Rover from The 70's. The steering column, analog dials, front end and light placement are very similar.
I knew someone else would see it was a D90. :)
Yes, that stands out immediately. Great way to draw the right sort of attention for this concept.
