Default When is new Transit coming?
Does anyone have any idea when the new Ford Transit is coming to Australia? I'm curious if the emergency services and patient transport companies will compare them to the current generation Mercedes Sprinter.

Is the 3.2L I5 coming to our market?

The Transit is it's own brand now with a small Transit Connect to compete with VW Caddy, then Transit Custom up against HiAce and Iload, and the larger model against Sprinter etc..No one seems to be saying when we get anything. No mention of 3.2L versions in Europe also, sadly. Would the users you mention need auto's because Euro models don't have it. One reason for Aust Post dropping them for MB Sprinters. US models should get auto's and will get a Ecoboost V6 version, imagine G6ET power in a large van..

Damn, I thought it was coming next year.

Yes, everything has to be auto.
