SEMA Getting Hit With Tsunami Of Custom Fords
The pictures are tiny, but Ford is apparently bringing quite a load of customs to the SEMA show in Vegas next week. There's a trio of Lincoln MKS's on the way, a couple of Foci and custom Escapes, a sinister looking Lincoln MKX, and our favorite, a tarted up Ford Transit Connect. Seriously, that thing can't hit the market soon enough; we'll take one with a set of those snazzy racing stripes too. Full details on all these customs in a healthy-sized press release below, and be sure to check out Jalopnik's on-the-ground SEMA coverage next week.

One-Minute Judgment: Wert Assesses The Transit Connect
Ourwhip-wielding road crew wardengallant leader put on his bespoke suit and Burberry cravat at the New York Auto Show and told thestreet.com exactly what he thinks of the adorable Ford Transit Connect, which is bravenewworld-speak for "New York City Taxi Concept." Wert was slingin' the deadpan humor in the way that only those boys from Royal Oak can. He expressed his views on the future of taxis, bank tellers, cabbies and alliteration. Yes, alliteration. Well-dressed and well-educated, he is. Click here for the full video.

Ford Transit Connect Taxi Is Bursting With Tech
We're well aware that the Ford Transit Connect is here and available in a lot of variations, but I'm still a bit confused by the taxi-model version that we spied last week and witnessed the official unveil of yesterday. The interior of this thing includes the mandatory glass panel that separates the driver and passengers. And that's where the confusion begins. The glass includes a LCD display much like we've already seen, but there also seems to be a sort of a map etched into the glass.

Chicago Auto Show: 2009 Ford Transit Connect Variants Take Bow
We saw the first two versions of the 2009 Ford Transit Connect a little earlier, but now we've seen 'em up close and personal. Four differently outfitted models of the light duty van were shown off in an effort to showcase the vans versatility. The first two we saw were dressed up for a wine delivery company and a traveling jazz band; the other two examples are done up for a connectivity company and a catering service. While not options offered from Ford, these Transit Connects offer different looks at the flexible ways the little vans can be equipped. And we did see a feature we've been pining for.

Chicago Auto Show: 2009 Ford Transit Connect Early Peek
Those darn kids are always leaving stuff laying around - like 2009 Ford Transit Connects that aren't supposed to be free to see for another couple hours. We've heard they are bringing four different varieties of customized to show off here in Chicago and it looks like we're seeing two of them here. One appears to be some sort of wine and or food based delivery truck. The other is a decidedly more hip and musically focused custom. It looks decidedly jazzy and thankfully un-hip-hop related. Definitely dressed up compared to the bland whiteness of the press shots of the Transit Connect from last night. Guess we'll get the full story in a bit.

Ford Transit Connect Official For US Market
Even though we got a sneak peak at it during the Showlopnik coverage, Ford has officially dropped the pics for it's Transit Connect on us. Now, it doesn't look a heck of a lot different then the Euro model, but there are some differences. True, it will be built in the same plant and Turkey, and it will still be based on a front wheel drive four cylinder platform, there will not be a diesel version available - yet. Indeed, Ford will be bringing only a four pot gasser to the US market and mating it to a four speed auto. Though at a press event, they didn't deny there was a possibility of an oil burner if the market demands it.

Ford Transit Connect Gets Early Partial Reveal From Chicago Auto Show Blog?
We had the pleasure of meeting a few of the ladies (and occasional gent) from the Chicago Auto Show Intern Blog Showlopnik, which lovingly parodies the name of our site. While talking to them they were busily prepping their stories and had mentioned they'd walked the floor to take pictures. We were hopping they'd possibly discover something we hadn't seen before and, lo and behold, there's a picture of what we think is the as-of-yet unreleased Ford Transit Connect. So there's your confirmation. Thanks for the picture Showlopnik and thanks for taking our advice about blogging, it's paid off.
