Ford Transit Connect - only 7,000 sold so far
DETNEWS | Weblogs | Autos Blog See this article in the Detroit News date 7 Jan 2010.
It mentions only 7,000 have been sold in the US so far. I drove across the country in October & only saw one dealership that had any on display. I did not see a single one on the road. The web sites for my local Ford dealers (NE OH) have no links to the Transit Connect, you have to call or email the dealership to learn if they have any in stock.

Strange, here in Los Angeles our local dealer has 6 of them displayed prominently, I haven't really been watching to see if they are moving them though.
In addition I have seen probably 20 or so getting around the roads - that sales figure really surprises me, but given the nature of the truck it isn't surprising that the sales are in urban areas.

In October Turner Ford in ABQ had a dozen on display, and I was told they had already sold 6. I drove 3000 miles across the USA that month, and that dealership was the only one of many I passed that had any TC's on display. I rechecked a couple of my local dealers since I posted, and they now have TC's in stock, linked from their websites, which was not the case a few days ago.

i live... well, lived, lol about 50 miles north of Milwaukee wi, and there EVERYWHERE here... the dealership in Fond Du Lac, 20 miles west, has like 4 or 5. i now live very close to Madison, and they are all over there as well... there really a cool idea... if only they would make a longer wheel base model and offer the 2.3L duratorq diesel available in europe... but the duratorq is a whole other rant that i will not get into hear... i will simply state that the EPA can suck my left ********... lol... well, that, and 40-50 mpg ranger, or focus... think about it for a minute
can't wait to get one of those engines shipped here... but not until i have enough Spotted Cow to help with the headaches... lol
but the longer wheelbase model would open up the opportunity for hauling motorcycle's, among many other things...

Bloomberg.com states sales in the USA were 8,834 in 2009.
It also mentions trucks are more profitable per unit sold than cars, currently the manufacturer makes 6-8% on each. It states Ford does not plan to manufacture the Transit Connect in the USA.
