The sales for the Transit Connect of more than 2000 units last August, outperforming Ford initial projections for the vehicle. The main buyers of the Transit Connect were fleet buyers, but it has also made good sales with the small business owners that would like to save up on fuel bills.
The Ford Transit Connect puts out 22 mpg in the city and reaches about 25 mpg in the highway, with a combined rating of 23 mpg on regular gas. Not bad for van big enough to put all your stuff in.
The Transit Connect is now being built in Turkey, but there is news that production will be shifted to the United
States come 2012. Ford is also planning to put out an all-electric version of the Transit Connect and a passenger version intended for families. So expect the Ford Transit Connect to make more sales in the next couple of years.

Best Ford Mustang Car Photos
Ford Mustang car is manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was initially based on the Ford Falcon, a compact car. Production began in Dearborn, Michigan on 9 March, 1964 and the car was introduced to the public on 17 April, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's oldest nameplate currently in production, although the F-Series has undergone major nameplate changes over the years (most recently to F-150).
Early Mustangs also proved successful in road racing. The GT 350 R, the race version of the Shelby GT 350, won five of the Sports Car Club of America's (SCCA) six divisions in 1965. Drivers were Jerry Titus, Bob Johnson and Mark Donohue, and Titus won the (SCCA) B-Production national championship. GT 350s won the B-Production title again in 1966 and 1967. They also won the 1966 manufacturers’ championship in the inaugural SCCA Trans-Am series, and repeated the win the following year.
In 2002 John Force broke his own NHRA drag racing record by winning his 12th national championship in his Ford Mustang Funny Car, Force beat that record again in 2007, becoming the first ever 14-time champion, again, driving a Mustang.
