First Drive: 2010 Ford Transit Connect
2010 Ford Transit Connect - Ford Compact Minivan Review - Automobile Magazine
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is proof that there is life--intelligent life--in van land.

The U.S. auto market may be fast-moving and competitive, but one subset, commercial vans, is neither. Looking much the same as it did during the Nixon administration, it has seen few innovations and fewer new entries. The only real change is that the big Dodge van--dressed in the same duds since the early '70s--finally expired a few years ago, when the Mercedes-Chrysler tie-up brought us the Sprinter van to replace it. Half-hearted attempts to make work vehicles out of passenger haulers, such as panel-truck versions of the Dodge Caravan and the Chevy HHR, have met with little success.
