Ford Transit

[basti08]

yes it was introduced here in the 80's, nakasakay pa nga ako nun sa Dagupan City nung bata pa ako but when they came back here nung late 90's, isa sa mga plans yun together with the Lynx pero hindi natuloy. AFAICR, lumabas pa nga sa leading newspapers yun nung 1998.

hindi ba yung Windstar na facelifted yun Carlo?
i also saw it in ads nung 1998, pero i thought it was the Windstar... yung may teaser ads na headlights lang pinapakita... topshot pa.

Hindi Windstar yun. Ford Econovan (based siya sa Mazda na van na binenta ng Fransisco Motors)

The Ford Econovan is essentially a rebadged/restyled Mazda Power Van (in its short version) and Kia Besta (in its medium version) and the Mazda E2000 (in long version).

Maybe something not in line with the image Ford wants to project at that time. Also remember the issues between Ford and FMC regarding the Ranger pick ups?

*carlocaraddict - That was the Econovan with 4 small rear wheels, right?

Transit Minibus ang shuttle sa dati kong trabaho. 1+2 ang seat rows kaya medyo maluwag.

i used to work in Ford Phils and during my trip to Ford Vietnam (2003) I found out that Ford Vietnam was about to introduce the 12-seater and 17-seater Ford Transit. It's one of the workhorse in Europe with powerful but economical diesel engine. I would love to see Ford Phils introducing this van as CBU from Vietnam or Europe to serve the Philippine market.
