Ford Looks to the Future: 2010 Transit Connect

Have you heard of the 2010 Ford Transit Connect?  Fortune Magazine had a great article on this vehicle:  

My Transit Connect was like the attractive person you see across a room to whom you are immediately drawn.

And so it was with this unique, futuristic vehicle. More and more Americans like their vehicles to be useful as well as stylish and the Transit Connect is more useful than any vehicle I can think off.

With room for five (thanks to a full-width second seat), loads of storage space, an extra-high roof, and easy-opening cargo doors, this vehicle lives for Saturday morning errands or the stop-and-go demands of a small business. It is a Honda Element raised to a higher level of carrying capacity; a PT Cruiser with an extra helping of mojo.

The TC felt rock solid, returned decent gas mileage (its combined EPA estimate is 23 miles per gallon) and carried a reasonable base sticker price (including delivery) of just over $23,000 (my as-tested vehicle came in at $24, 975).

One of the shortlisted vehicles for the North American Truck of the Year award (voted by some 50 automotive journalists), the TC gets high marks for functionality and originality. It creates a whole new segment — call it “compact hyper-functional utility vehicle” or “super high-roof stuff carrier.”

With a rear cargo space large enough to sleep in, it should be popular with ski bums, surfers, and college students who can’t drive home from the party.
