I have a feeling this will do very well - especially in Canada. I drive a Sprinter every day for work and I really like it. The Transit Connect will be perfect for delivery fleets or contractors who need a true commercial van but don't need one as large as the Sprinter or Express. My only concern is with how the TC will accelerate when it's fully loaded. If it had a turbo diesel I wouldn't be as concerned...
