Ford's Transit Connect Gets a New Look
After more than a decade, an all-new Ford Transit Connect is coming to Europe and the U.S., according to PickupTrucks.com.
The Transit Connect was one of the first globally sourced Ford vehicles announced under CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" strategy. The small van, which is manufactured in Turkey, was already pretty old by the time it reached U.S. shores in 2009; it was originally conceived in 2002.
The new model looks more aerodynamic compared with the slab-sided version we have now. Ford says the Transit Connect will get a more carlike interior, too, though pictures weren’t available.
Ford says the North American market will get a range of gasoline powertrains with the Transit Connect. Right now, it is powered by a sole 2.0-liter inline-four. No word yet if the Ford Transit Connect Electric will make it here when the model is redesigned.
The new Transit Connect is expected to hit the U.S. by the end of 2013.

The Aston Martin-like trapezoidal grille seen recently on all the new Fords is nice (2013 Fiesta and Escape). But the sliver “mustache” that contains the blue oval logo is not cohesive in any of the designs. Couldn’t Ford just eliminate the mustache? Mustache Remover, STAT!
Say the true its not a bad car!
Bravo. Hope it gets the latest 6 speed tranny.
Last month Transit connect sold more than 3,000 units and is slowly emerging.
Also joining are similar sized vehicles from Nissan & RAM.
Hmmm... The window version a replacement for my old Honda Element?

Much nicer, looks similar to a Kia Soul or Scion xB. Hopefully they will offer a much more powerful engine, the current one is woefully underpowered.
