USA Today writer James R. Healey wrote a review on the all new Ford Transit Connect van.  Here is his opening remarks:

Here’s one of the best ideas since sliced bread: a compact cargo van that, properly optioned, could just about serve as the family bus.

If the 2010 Ford Transit Connect doesn’t evoke in spirit, if not appearance, the 1960s Volkswagen Bus, you’re too young, you were too stoned to remember or you have no imagination.

Ford says the official reason for modifying the Euro-market TC for the U.S. is to plug a hole in the market. It’s for business people who don’t want the cost or size of a big van but need something more utilitarian and robust than a minivan or hatchback.

Ford Dealer Feedback

Dave Wilson, CEO of the Preston Automotive Group in Hurlock Maryland says “Sales of the Ford Transit Connect are strong in Maryland.  We stocked up on these vans because they are at the right price point for business owners.  AS the economy shows signs of picking up, business owners will be looking for affordable and economical business vehicles.”
