It will be in showrooms before you know it.
I'm sure FedEx and UPS will be the biggest buyers. )

It's much smaller than the Dodge Sprinter vans, so I doubt FedEx and UPS would be interested, but I could be wrong. The Transit is aimed mostly at small business owners and taxis, apparently. I think it would be great for rural mail carriers, also.

Having had a Checker for 17 years, I am very interested in this new vehicle. I have a special feeling for all things taxi...

You can take the birdies for a ride in the country :lol:

...I've always wanted to ask you something about the Checker. Did anyone ever try to "hail" you when you were driving it? //

No, it was black and grey. Haven't you seen the pictures of it? But, I have heard all of the taxi jokes ever written...

I like it. The two tone colour scheme appears presentable.

We have the van version at work, as a mechanics runabout ( note the reg number!), interestingley enough, the speedo housing ( speedo, rev counter, warning lights etc) are the same as my Maverick, just that the dials have dark grey, not white backgounds)

They are based on the Ford Fusion chassis, which was adapted from the Ford Fiesta, as a mini people carrier, and the Transit Connect replaced the old Fiesta Van.
