Latest by dusanmal: @ecobore: Unfortunately, car-makers have a twisted vision that they'll be laughed at if they bring anything but more powerful/larger volume engine. Oh, wait - car magazines do make derogatory comments such as "underpowered" as soon as a new car has more »

Latest by Pixel: (whoa late comment reply) @my favorite car is a motorcycle: You're comparing apples to wombats. The Connect is a small van with a traditional gas engine coupled to an auto trans. It is optimized for load hauling, durability and ease of fleet more »
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.

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.

Latest by n/a: @rubirosa007: If you look at the above photograph again, you'll see that it's a small van under that cover (you can see the wing mirrors and the slope of the screen), not a 7.5 tonner. more »
