Why dont we get the Transit Custom?

Looks like a really nice unit....The Transit Custom fits in the gap between the Transit and the Transit Connect.

But I guess Ford USA doesnt want us to drive a manual shift diesel. I would love to!

I wouldn't buy one if they did. Looks like an alien space shuttle.

As for the Diesel, that's a result of our illustrious government regulations run amok.

Does look kinda swoopy but I love the 6 speed manual and diesel that gets 30 mpg or more...

Yea, but the EPA has a clear animosity pertaining to diesels, so don't expect to see one here.

The new Transit is available with a diesel...I dont think that is the issue.

I think it has more to do with the standard transmission, since its about dead here in America...
