Ford Transit Connect --- Cool new van!!!

Check out this very cool van. It would be PERFECT for a Commercial / VLM carpet cleaning company! The cool European styles of work vans have finally reached America. Dress this up with a wrap or some great graphics, and you have a sweet looking service van. And I'm not even a big Ford fan.

That is pretty cool for a Ford. It was a sad day when GM drop the Safari line. They worked great.

Much better choice than the HHR and double the space. We have several running around the Atlanta area but none by CCers. Perfect for VLMers but not HWEers. A little over priced at $22000 mfg, should be 16 to 17K

Hi Rick & Rick!
I promised you these pics 12 months ago - so sorry they're a bit late, but now timely with this thread.
Everything is removable to be flexible, no fixtures, KISS Method.

Except for the necessities - gota have gadgets!
Fur lined storage, front & rear sensors & cameras, GPS, hard wired bluetooth & Ipod kits, & LED light bars x 3. There have been a couple of similar vehicles over here that have lended an ounce of inspiration.

VW Caddy, DSG 6 speed Auto, 1.9 Diesel Turbo
100% Encap pocket rocket!

Hi Anthony,

If you've got no crappy customers, and you're charging what you're worth, and you ain't lugging 1 tonne of metal in the back, possibly only 200lbs of encap stuff, and you're never in a flip running late, and you don't mind a few extra seconds to cruize to top speed, and you love driving a rock-solid, feature-rich, eye-catching, energy & dollar saving vehicle, then I'd recommend a VW Caddy DSG deisel. On the freeway 'it' just wants to keep going!
We opted to take a holistic aproach to our business - including our vehicles.
Seriously though; they ain't you're average diesel - a bit like carpet cleaners & encap products! Take care.
