New Ford Transit (not Connect)? Now there's some real passenger and cargo hauling. If you don't mind not being able to park in the underground parking of your local mall (with the tall body and likely the short body too).



On the up side this still should be legal to park on a drive way. I know a trades guy who got one (Sprinter long time ago) because a cube van was not allowed.

If I had to haul 6-8 people on a regular basis, I'd get rid of 5-7 of them.  ;D

2nd row seats that can't be removed is a deal breaker in a van for me.  And for being the newest van in the segment, it has just average fuel economy.  Rated as best van for people with no kids.  Guess that's due to the styling, and least cargo room.  I haven't driven it, but would still stick with the Odyssey.  Don't like the shifter in the middle either...

interesting comparison article... while i disagree that the t&c should finish behind the quest (most notably considering the quest wasn't actually any "better" of an overall vehicle yet cost over 20% more than the t&c), seems about right.

this is one of the few categories where there is a big enough difference in price and quality... most other segments are so close now that this is almost refreshing!

subcompacts are a category you see night and day differences in materials, price, and quality as well.  Accent a sea of hard plastics.... Fit for example has less.

fair enough i guess... but these vans were all similarly equipped and those two i mentioned had a price difference of over 7000 bucks. most other categories it's a smaller gap in both price and quality making the choice less risky and more just a flip of the coin, or in those few cases, an obvious choice of, "for 1000, why would you not get ___ that is obviously just better?".

like your example... pricing is within a grand along the comparable spectrum (really can't compare the fit once it gets to the ex-l navi type options because the accent just doesn't have it...) but they start just under 15, get up to just under 21 well equipped....

in all categories, basically, whatever is the newest should and generally is, the best... but then there are those who refuse to buy first year cars, so they settle on the others....

meh... cars.. aren't they fun.

I usually don't buy first year cars.  But I wouldn't settle on another car.  I would wait it out, or buy an extended warranty.

Never happened to me, have no regrets in waiting, or car purchases I made.  But then again, I often don't like the latest things.  My last 2 cars, then 2nd generation were worse then the 1st gen.  (2nd gen Mazda6 was worse then 1st, 2nd gen Mazda5 was worse than 1st).

I'd wait for the new Chryco/Fiat vans, should be getting a look see at them soon enough. Otherwise for me it would be the odyssey all the way.

Kia just seems so overstyled to me (like many of their products)

not surprising... they've been out of the game for a while... rough as their van is not much cheaper though...

looks like Chryslers new styled vans wont be seeing customers driveways until next year this time.... so lots of opportunity...
