Kinda cool, Renault has it's Kangoo commercial van in three flavors. I wonder how successful something like this would be? The Transit connect is a bit flawed.















It's been specially designed to be wide enough to accommodate a "Euro"-pallete.

Presume this is a new model, I've never seen any of them on the road.

These were outrageously popular in Argentina. But I don't see them doing too well here in the States. I still haven't seen a Transit Connect out on the roads yet.

No V8, no sub 6-second 0-60 times and no sub 15-second 1/4 mile times. Keep this underpowered POS in Europe and give me a Ford Econoline with the 6.8 V10 anyday.

I bet it's faster than an Econoline. :facepalm:

Funny, I just saw one today. 

I think it looks great.  If I had a small business that did deliveries and what not, I'd get one.

Probably not the V10 one (if they even still make it). Of course the Econoline could tow 3x what these could (though, for things other than towing, American fullsize vans suck).

The regular sized version was actually launched at Frankfurt 2007, and I think officially went on sale in the UK in June 2009 (no idea why it took so long), but I don't think I've ever seen one on UK roads either.

The smaller one is the Kangoo BeBop and was previewed with a concept car at the 2008 shows before being launched in mid 2009.

The full fat large one is, I think, new right now........... there was an extra long version of the old Kangoo, but the extra length was all behind the rear wheels which made it look rather odd. Loads of them were sold in France, of course. I don't think it ever made it across the Channel.
