So you are talking about the Transit and not the Transit Connect, we weren't sure as you never replied to the questions.

Econoline, Transit: After decades of flirting with the idea, Ford plans to move to a single global full-size van platform. The van, code-named V363, will be based on the Transit van now sold in Europe. The Transit is available in a variety of sizes and configurations, including FWD and RWD.

The North American Transit is expected to go into production for the 2012 model year at Ford's assembly plant in Avon Lake, Ohio, which now produces the E-Series van. The E-Series, also called the Econoline, is expected to be discontinued when U.S. production of the Transit begins.

Sources said Ford expects global Transit volume of between 400,000 and 500,000 vans annually.

I'm sure I've read somewhere on the web of a hybrid Transit Connect being demo-ed as a NYC yellow cab.

I'll have one, slap a 2.8 V6 in as well for good measure, bollix to being green, the planet's doomed anyway and my customers can just have a price increase to cover it
