Sounds good, I'm excited to see it. Also, if it'll be going on sale this fall, that means we'll have to see it soon, NY?

Which one?

I know I've seen it in several vehicles as well, including a Dodge Charger's headlights.

Interesting....good find.

I don't. I'll put the parking lights (or sometimes full lights, if necessary) on on a cloudy day. When it's raining, I'll usually turn them all the way on.

Ford already serves those customers with the .

That's not too bad....although I think the Patriot and Liberty need to be fixed. No more Nitro rebadge for Liberty, please.

Welcome to BOF!

My eyes!!!! They burn!!! Sorry....it's a good chop, but not the best looking thing.....then again what minivan is good looking?

Some here may disagree with me, but I'm not really impressed with this vehicle and it's design. There's something wrong with the front, possibly the lower grille opening needs to be larger? The back and interior ok, if not boring. It's too "typical-Volvo" for me. I would've liked to have seen them push the envelope a bit more. And this vehicle is X3 sized? From the pictures it looks like it's Mazda CX-9 sized (which I think looks better than this).

It looks good, there's just something about the front, at least in that picture, that doesn't look right to me.

Interesting, I'm not sold on that modern interpretation.

That's interesting. I'd like to see Ford try when they are on more stable ground with their regular product lines.

Yuck.

Welcome to BOF!

They're not killing Econoline in any sense. This vehicle will sell ALONGSIDE the Econoline. they're not......stephenhawings seems to think so though.

.

I wonder how or if Ford will market this if it's going to be mainly a commercial type vehicle? They don't advertise the Econoline, so will they advertise this?

Would you rather have Ford waste money on retro-fitting an entire plant devoted to the Transit Connect, and the TC flops, leaving Ford with another empty factory, along with wasted resources? This way, Ford will be able to 'test the waters' without major investment. If TC sales take off, then an American plant will be considered/opened, thus using some of the excess/unused US factory capacity.

First, welcome to BOF. And second, this is not replacing Econoline at all. It's a complement to the Econoline......it will sell alongside the Econoline as a fuel efficient alternative for delivery companies and the like.

See PM. Transit Connect will likely stay, and a Mercury version isn't likely. Those are my assumptions.

If the color is what you say it is, then not in that color, but the car looks good.

You just don't understand...............according to many here, there just is no 'stylish' brick.

Yes, but you can get BMW's 300-hp I6 in the little 1. I can tell you that motor is great in the 3, and could only be better in a smaller, lighter car.

Maybe, except much better looking.
