Recommended Posts

Ford Transit Connect Forum -

From AutoBlog.com: Welcome splash of news for the UAW and the U.S. economy: Ford will commence production of the Transit Connect at a U.S. assembly plant by mid-year 2012. Currently built in Turkey on a version of the Euro Focus platform, the next generation Transit will also migrate to the FWD compact platform that will underpin the next Focus both hear and abroad. Ford plants in Wayne, Michigan and Louisville, Kentucky will be retooled to build cars on that architecture, meaning the that Transit could join them. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

The current platform is not a car platform but rather a dedicated heavy duty truck platform (at least that's what all the press releases say from last year's auto show intro in Detroit). Does moving production here mean a lighter duty underpinning? If so leave production in Turkey.
