Well I was speaking to a senior Ford sales executive in Germany yesterday who has seen photos of the next generation 2012 Ford Transit and told me Ford are planning on selling it in the US and it will replace the Econoline!

In my original post I was referred to small diesel engines and prices the non-rich could afford. This would exclude diesels over 3.0 L and MSRP over $45,000. I'm interested in turbo diesels that could propel vehicles like a Transit Connect, a Ranger or a F150 economically. Vehicles like that are available world-wide, except in the USA.

 

It looks like Bill Ford listened to my suggestion!

The European big Transit is coming to the USA.
