Ford Transit - Taxi of tomorrow?

The Ford Transit is a neat idea. At the NY Auto Show, Ford has it decked out in taxicab yellow; I think it looks like a cross between a Ford Fusion, Taurus X, and previous Land Rover Discovery. via Consumer Reports

I own and love an 06 Sprinter and think the Transit would be cool as long as it tows 2000 pounds and they give us the one with the diesel engine!

Yeah, 0-60km/h

You don't have the chassis to be drag racing that thing. Can you say "wet noodle"? I knew you could.

Chrysler is rumored to be bankrupt. The theory is that the "mandatory" vacation in July will be an opportunity to shutter plants and lock some doors. We shall wait and see.

Thats why we need to support Chrysler. Its really sad, but to be extremely honest, I can see why they are not doing that well, poor management and poor product

I don't agree with you, Chrysler needs to support us. Chrysler needs to market products that we want and have product leadership and innovation in powertrain and features.

I cannot support a company that, despite nearing bankruptcy, pays Jim Press a $50 million signing bonus. They are now private equity owned and the minute they turn a profit they'll be sent down the line....possibly to Tata or Mahindra of India.

This is about Chrysler you ignoramus and their lack of product development. Go buy your F-250 PowerJoke that you brag about all the time.
