The second-generation Transit Connect was introduced on 6 September, 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This will be in production for the 2014 model year. In its first redesign since its 2002 introduction, the Transit Connect adopts many features of the Kinetic Design language. A major design change is the adoption of the rear liftgate, replacing the double rear doors. In North America, it will be powered by a 2.5 L inline-4 and a 1.6 L EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4; the transmission will be a 6-speed automatic.
In North America, the passenger version of the Transit Connect will be sold as the company's first 7-passenger minivan since the discontinuation of the Freestar after 2007.
The Transit Connect Wagon will include the optional new feature called MyKey, a personalized key system. MyKey owner controls let the vehicle owner program different keys to restrict different vehicle features, such as top speed, maximum volume, and other features .

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“They shall beget and rear children, handing on the torch of life from one generation to another.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“But why should not the New Englander try new adventures, and not lay so much stress on his grain, his potato and grass crop, and his orchards,—raise other crops than these? Why concern ourselves so much about our beans for seed, and not be concerned at all about a new generation of men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
