Will this forum be the home of the Maverick van / Mav Connect (or whatever they call it)?

This is speculative since I don't know if the Maverick Van has been formally confirmed but just wondering will this forum be inclusive of the Maverick Van or is that too separate from the Transit Connect models?

 

Related question -- will Ford Europe continue selling the VW Transit Connect once the Maverick Van is introduced?

Thanks for mentioning this as I hadn't heard about this virtual vehicle.

I would agree, it's very speculative at this point.

Asking how the forum will handle this new Maverick van is putting the proverbial cart before the horse or forum before the van.

We'll have to wait to see how this plays out. I remain skeptical since the Transit Connect sales in the US were supposed to be anemic.

 

I did notice the other day that Kia plans to introduce its version of the VW ID.Buzz electric van, with several different cargo and passenger versions.

Interesting designs.

Amazing. This form factor is all the rage in Europe. Maverick size would be pretty much perfect as it's a bit bigger than the old Connect and not as big as the Transit Custom (which I ordered)
