Borrowing the catch phrase of the past American elections, we fail to see what's so cool about adding two extra rows of seats along with leftover fluorescent lights from a saggy Pimp My Ride episode to a van that was built to be and will always be a light commercial vehicle. Ford goes as far as to say in its press release that the Transit Connect Family concept was "designed for the coolest mom". Now honestly; who comes up with these things? But anyway, the Transit Connect Family Concept will make its premiere at Ford's New York Auto Show stand on April 9.
The commercial version of the Transit Connect -without any of the concept car's wannabe cool-mama gimmicks- is scheduled to go on sale in the States this summer with prices starting at $21,475, including destination. According to FoMoCo, the Transit Conncet is rated at 22mpg city and 25mph highway.
