2010 Ford Transit Connect

​            After years of trying to win over consumers with the odd styling of the first-generation Focus, it seems that Ford is trying to see if we would like a transit as well.  But what they didn’t realize, is that they were entering a market where there really isn’t much competition.  The 2010 Ford Transit is one odd looking van, but when you are looking for something small 

to do deliveries in, it’s the only one of its kind.  Considering that mini-vans are much larger and are harder on gas, the Transit seems to open up a whole new market within the van segment.  
​

​       But when you pressed for cash and you just need something, most consumers don’t really think about the design.  And if you were to look at the design, I don’t think you would really want to be seen in this.  For starters there is way too much plastic.  Really why wouldn’t you paint the cladding as well, I know its because it is a highly used vehicle, but still color it.  Next why wouldn’t you at least add some sort of aggression to the headlights.  And lastly, why did Ford have to go with the cheapest looking hub caps it could find.  There almost as bad as those $20 spinners.
