bzcat Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Ford is going to stop selling Classic Transit in China soon and will rebrand the vehicle as JMC (which is a now fully Ford controlled commercial vehicle brand). The previous "Classic Transit" (Mk2 model) will now be sold as JMC Tè Shùn (literal translation: Special Transport) Where did Ford get the styling inspiration for Tè Shùn? Someone has been watching too much Star Wars probably... Now to confuse everyone here... The new Transit Custom (FWD) just went on sale as "New Transit" in China. This effectively replaced Classic Transit (MK2) in the Ford line up in terms of price. But wait... the previous "New Era Transit" (RWD Mk3 model) is still around and is positioned above the "New Transit". I guess at some point, Ford will see fit to replace the "New Era Transit" with the new MK4 RWD Transit. New Transit New Era Transit (next to a New Transit by the looks of it) Edited April 6, 2017 by bzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Is there an official press release? Looks like the only Transit Custom FWD in the world with extended roof wheelbase and Ecoboost engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Remember when Chinese JAC attempted their F150 clone, the JAC 4R3 in 2012? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
