Ford Banner on Sprinter Forum

Just clicked on that Ford banner at the top of the page. Their transit connect wagon caught my eye. 2.0 liter 4 cylinder, 5 seater, and half the price of a Sprinter. And it looks like a Sprinter!

Wish it was a little cheaper.

Not like I need another vehicle, but you can get an NCV3 for ~10k more with more room and a diesel until the new year at least.

I think so.

Is this a trick question?

No I'm not trying to be funny. I thought it was only the T1Ns that were sold in the USA.

we have the ncv3 here, brother just bought a new 2008 freightliner (must not be selling well if they still have new 2008 in stock)
what we don't have is the ford transit (just that sissy submini connect) or any of the sprinters other full size competitors.
Some day I'll need to replace my sprinter, it obviouslly won't be american made as the execs at the big 3 know putting americans out of work will not affect their bonus's,
If I have to buy foreign it will not be american branded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lived in Hell Michigan for a year, I used to hang out at Smitty's Damn Site Inn.

The Ford Transit Connect is made in Turkey. Ford is the only non-government owned american car company. I'll never buy a government built vehicle.

I don't think execs get bunuses anymore. Lately its been the uaw talking about putting americans out of work, as in strike.

Turkey?
Is this kinda like mexican Lincolns?, nobody making them can think of buying them!
What about the big transit?
