Remember that goofy little utility truck Ford unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in February? It's almost here, and Edmunds.com has just posted full pricing and options. Want a Dewalt tool link? How about doors that open 225 degrees? It's all there for the taking provided you can live with those odd headlights and even more bizarre profile.
Pricing and Options: 2010 Ford Transit Connect

Should be interesting to see how it does. There really isn't anything to compete with it on the market for the comercial customer.

Odd looking thing, but if i was a tradesman, i would be very interested.

Honda Accord has odd headlights. Transit Connect's headlights are tasteful and attractive.
Finally a commercial vehicle for North America that will not override passenger car crumple zones due to height mismatch.

I expect to see more such vehicles in the US over the next few years.
They make very good sense and should be able to hold almost as much as the typical panel van but get better mileage. I think WK is right too, that the design makes the truck less of a threat to smaller cars.
Is it a small turbo diesel?

I mirror the hopes that this car takes some of the Econolines off the road. It's had a long enough life and needs to be killed.

Hmmm, ground clearance of 7.9" This thing could make a fun conversion van or canoeing rig. And 15" wheels? Nice (and cheap to replace).
If they only offered it in a stick-shift here.

altimadude, the the Econolines won't go down easy. They're tough as nails and last forever.
The Transit makes sense for light duty. The Econoline makes sense for heavy duty.

brn, no, the full-size Transit (think Ford Sprinter) makes sense for heavy-duty work. The Econoline's days are numbered, as I believe the big Transit is coming over here soon.

This is the full-size Transit that will replace the Econoline at some point.

This is interesting. The full-size Transit can be configured in FWD, RWD or AWD. See link.

"The Econoline's days are numbered, as I believe the big Transit is coming over here soon."
Depends on cost. The Econoline is cheap, rugged and a barn inside. That's all that really matters to the trades.
The Dodge Sprinter is a really good (and large) van but is too much money. That's why it never took over. The Transit might do well but it will have to be priced right.

Motivated by what, a Focus engine?

Bob, I was thinking Transit Connect, but said Transit.
To echo FW, the Econoline still has it's merits. It's a real work horse.
