Hi guys,

If you haven't had a chance to check out the homepage lately, there are some great articles being placed, many of which are press releases from Ford. There will be forum questions that go along with them so that we who love our blue oval trucks can discuss the issues they present.

You may soon see the Transit Connect dot your Commercial and Industrial Zones. How do you feel about that? Is it so cut and dry that everyone would love to ditch their daily commute in favor of cost-cutting benefits? Sure the drive to work and home can be a pain, but would you miss it? If you are a business owner, what benefits are you hoping for in the Transit Connect?

Thanks

I think Ford should have offered the diesel enigine here in the U.S. These vehicles I am thinking will compliment an existing fleet of larger trucks and also would let some enviromentally-minded young business owners use biodiesel. Ford could make the case to Americans that diesel is hands down a more efficient and safer fuel. Wouldn't that appeal to business owners?

You raise a very good point. Note that the latest version of the Sprinter, initially offered with both gas and diesel power, is now diesel only.
