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:
“There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.”
—Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)
“The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
