The big Transit is nice, but they sold 166,000 Sprinters in 2008, to the world. That number is smaller than the number of Econolines sold in the US in 2007. (2008 Econoline sales were 125,000 in 2008, but I'll bet that far exceeded Sprinter sales here.)

So who will buy the big Transit and what will that do to Econoline sales? I can see it taking over in a few years, but I doubt Ford is in any rush right now. Let's see how TC sales go.
