Chicago: 2009 Ford Transit Connect

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
Much like the traditional soccer mom, many business owners find themselves driving vehicles much larger than their needs dictate. But unlike those dwellers of suburbia, the proprietor is paying for the maintenance and fuel of a full-size van not necessarily by choice, but rather because of a lack of smaller and relatively efficient alternatives.

I have an American business partner and shes always complaining that the range of vans available to her in the US is very limited compared to what we rent when we are in the UK and I have to agree. Sometimes all we want is something like what we are seeing here. In Europe, Ford themselves produce vans from the Tiny Fiesta which someone has already mentioned to the Full size Long wheelbase hi-top Transit which dwarfs an Econoline.

It is selling well 2000 inits first month.Most go within 10 days.Strange how its seen as small in the US,in Europe you can go 2 sizes smaller SWB LR connect and fiesta van with a 1.4 litre diesel engine!

there is no competition on this segment

The van is NOT supposed to be huge, that is the point. Its designed for the urban environment where its small size.

I believe the tourneo is also coming over.

omg.. it very humerous that this is coming to the us... no offence intended, but it is just so small compared to an average american vehicle... the engine in this is only going to be about a 2.5 i think.... they should also introduce the tourneo connect to the states.. it can add to all the for frestars and chrysler voyagers and many minivans alike!
