    In reply to Ford Transits Down On The Paris Street

    1st, to Franzouse; Thanks for the images of a very European Ford(s).

    Now onto another topic, and that has to do with European Vans that are in the US, or about to be in the US. I did a road test of the Sprinter Van for another blog. It was fantastic, and I wonder why the hell Ford and GM are still making their ancient vans in the US.

    Dodge is loosing their ability to sell Sprinters after January 1st, 2010, leaving the 45 Freightliner Dealers to sell them, along with about 120 Mercedes-Benz dealerships.

    Dodge is exploring the possibility of bringing in the Iveco Vans to replace the Sprinters, along with a smaller van to augment the offering.

    And Ford is exploring the possibility of bringing in their full sized Transit vans to replace the ancient Econolines. There is talk of bringing them on-line by 2013. This is due to the tremendous acceptance of the Transit Connect model so far. #van

    @UDMan: Zeroing out the Econoline? Unpossible. But the Transit Connect is very cool. And the Sprinter would be my choice, except for its pricing.

    IVECO is a natural for FIAT and Chrysler, and they have plenty of Eurovan experience, as well as a developed US truck dealer network to leverage.

    Of course, Citroen also makes a work van... #van

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: unpossible it is
    i'm hoping they stick with the old style.

    i drove a couple of company sprinters at a job for a few years. they got rid of their 15+ years old econolines and bought them from a dodge dealer.

    they were great at first, but we missed the old fords within six months since the sprinters seemed to fall apart at the seams. the doors seemed to be a real p0roblem, and a co-worker was even stopped by police once when the previously latched but brtoken back door had opened and dumped some cargo on the road. next the turbocharger stopped spinning on one and service didn't seem to be able to fix it.

    they seemed to be highly fuel-efficient and had some nice features, but there were no major problems with the old econolines like there were with the new sprinters. #van

    I could totally rock one of those. Its like the British Econoline. Only instead of being synonymous with Creedence, its more in tune with the Rolling Stones. #van

    She's gonna want some sun block. A bad burn, premature aging, skin cancer--she's just asking for trouble.
    Oh, wait. She's a hooker.
    Gosh, don't young hookers realize why old hookers look the way they do?

    Aw, come on. If there's a beach close by you have no grounds to be sure that woman is a hooker. Seriously, I used to live in a beach town (Treasure Island, Florida) and I saw lots of women, most if not all of them certainly not hookers, out walking around minimally dressed like that on the sidewalks almost every day. It was a real pleasant place to live. Spring Break, in particular, was a little bit of Heaven right here on Earth.

    I'm confused.


    That doesn't really look like the kind of shady back alley where one might find hooker. It's a business park with a running trail across the street.


    Not to mention it's the middle of the day and, while skimpy, that doesn't look like hooker-attire. Looks more like someone swiped her clothes out of her locker or something.


    Maybe that's just how they roll in Spain.
