Those are junk. The only thing worse is the Chrysler PT.

The new Ranger is actually bigger than an F100 used to be. How about we reintroduce an actual small pickup? Maybe use the Transit Connect chassis and put a built in bed on the back? How about revive an old idea and use the bed design concept from the old VW van based pickup? They had bed sides you could flip down like a tailgate. You could either open the tailgate or open the side gate or open both sides and the back and you had a flat bed.

The Mercury equivalent to the Falcon was the Comet. But Lincoln never cared about selling any equivalent auto.

I woud like to see Ford make a lightweight car tat would compete on the ST level of the Continental Sports Car Challenge. The Miata, Porsche Cayman etc. would the the target. The 2.3L engine used in the Mustang would work great. I know it would likely be a "me too" car, but it would be a good car for young people. The Falcon was a sporty car built before the Mustang was introduced and would be a good name for it.

My 2014 Transit Connect has my company logo as the background. I like that touch.

I think Ford needs to upgrade the parking sensor system. The thing doesn't know I am backing up and it keeps telling me the front bumper is close to an object, or the rear bumper is close and the vehicle is in drive and moving away. Another point is the system takes FOREVER to reset after the alarm is going off.

Personally, I would like to see Ford build a tribute to the original Thunderbird. Styling very close to the original 2 seater but with a retractable hard top. 4 wheel independent electrically tuneable suspension and either the 3.5L twin turbo or a Voodoo engine. In other words, the car I wish they had built in 1956 but with upgrades.

Me too. The cars that use the no-key style ignition could do this. Also, the hybrid cars could turn off when the key leaves the vehicle so the idiots who die from carbon dioxide from leaving the car on in the garage can stay alive. But I do suspect the batteries would die quickly if this was implemented.

The Mustang chassis cannot fit 5 people. It really doesn't fit 4 adults.

One more request. Years ago, Ford had some fleet vehicles that offered Owner-Operator packages. Instead of bare bones interior, they offered a little higher level trim packages. I would like to have seen an owner package on the TC Van for people like me who are going to be the only person who drives. Sunglass holders, more electronics, better trim level etc. would make driving even more comfortable.

My sun visors are already starting to sag. I am almost ready to glue a magnet on the back of the visor and on the shelf above the visor.

AH HA! I got a notice in the mail, that the van should have had a power outlet in the right rear interior where the blank plug is. They say they will install one there. Next, I would like to have an option for speakers installed in the rear doors, so when I am working, I can have a little background noise if I so choose. I would also like a door lock button back there.

Work lights facing rearward in the back of the van. A couple of decent LED lights you can use to work at night. Also, an optional dome light or two. When the van has racks and bins inside, the side mounted dome light, is obscured and not as useful. I will try to mount a dome light or two in the "ceiling" of my TC. I will also try to place a power outlet on the right rear quarter. There is a hole already there and I bet there is a power plug somewhere inside the panel there. I can mount a power converter once I have that plug and even use a small compressor or Dremel tool, solder iron, etc.

The Transit Connect has a dead pedal. Made in Europe also.

Now, you can want a GT350? If your dealer is a jerk, nothing is stopping you from getting it somewhere else. The internet can be your friend.

GT350R wins Maybe next will be the GT350KR with twin turbos?

AWD would be a great option in some places. But that would require a complete redesign of the chassis.

One more: I would like a power point on the overhead shelf.

The older Escape had a dead pedal also. Odd that they would remove it.

When logging mileage for tax purposes it would be nice to have a feature where either the trip odometer. or the navigation system would keep track of key on to key off mileage and flash it as you turn the vehicle off. In fact the navigation system would be a great way to do it, since it could list the address of start to finish.

Another thought: A roof mounted vent fan with a switch and thermostat. When the van has a bulkhead, the back is isolated from the A/C unit and it can get very hot inside., which is not good for cargo.

One more thing. The version of the TC sold in England has a storage compartment in the pod above the dash board. I want that. It's at 3:30 on this video: http://youtu.be/WOUmLXuS-x0

An 18 wheeler is hard to park too, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to try to park one. I am talking about normal people trying to park a full sized truck everyday. Parking spots are getting smaller in many work places and around many towns. try to drive that full sized truck and find a parking spot in many large cities. I drove a rented cabover a while back and found it easier to park than an F-250.

The full sized F-150 is just plain hard to park, it is much bigger than what most people need and it is too expensive. THAT's why I chose a Ranger 17 years ago. I don't have room to park an F-150. My wish? A 3.5l turbo diesel manual transmission (optional) supercab with a 5 foot box. Make the cab about 3 inches wider than the older model. No more than that. Dual tanks and a high ratio rear axle. 35mpg highway and 700mile range. You would have to stop to eat more often than fill up.

I have a 2014 Transit connect van and I love it, but there are things I would like to see included in the future (and I wish they had thought of these things already) MORE power points. There is no reason why there isn't a 12v or even a 110v outlet in the back of the van. And more in the front, while you're at it! This is a business truck! Why not have cubby holes in the dash area to hold business cards, note pads, ink pens, phone and maybe even a clipboard? With all that dashboard, there could also be another glove box sized storage place or even two. I would like the option to delete the drivers side sliding door. I see they have that in Europe. Larger outside mirrors. With the combination of some options, you can't get the biggest mirrors. I like to see! GoPro dash camera. In fact, I would like a 5 way camera with a DVR as an option. 5 way means driver facing camera and all 4 directions outside. Wifi. More if I can think of it.
