ingo ◊ 2010-02-24 20:08	Is the Ford Transit available on the US-market? Or shall it be from now
rjluna2 ◊ 2010-02-24 20:13	Yes, I have seen at the road. I have read somewhere that Ford did something unusual to reduce tariff/tax by adding seats at the rear to be shipped to USA, then removed the seat once it arrives at USA. I may be wrong
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-02-24 20:27	Yes, it's called the "chicken tax" and the Wikipedia article already mentions the Transit Connect specifically. Citation The Chicken Tax — actually a 25% tax on potato starch, dextrin, brandy, and light trucks — was a 1963 response by the United States under President Lyndon B. Johnson to tariffs placed by France and West Germany on importation of U.S. chicken.[1] The period from 1961-1964[2] of tensions and negotiations surrounding the issue, which took place at the height of Cold War politics, was known as the "Chicken War".[3] Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted,[4] but over the next 46 years the light truck tax ossified, remaining in place to protect U.S. domestic automakers from foreign light truck production (e.g., from Japan, Thailand).[5] Though concern remains about its repeal,[6][7] a 2003 Cato Institute study called the tariff "a policy in search of a rationale."[4] As an unintended consequence, several importers of light trucks have circumvented the tariff via loopholes — including Ford (ostensibly a company the tax was designed to protect), which currently imports light trucks as "passenger vehicles" to the U.S. from Turkey and immediately shreds portions of their interiors in a warehouse outside Baltimore.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-02-24 21:14	There's an electric version made by Smiths Electric Vehicles in the UK and, separately, Ford has announced an electric model for the US in partnership with a company called Azure Dynamics Corporation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Transit_Connect
