There was speculation for a while, haven't heard much lately, that GM would expand the work with Nissan on vans, possibly including a B sized one. I think that could shake things up pretty well, as I would expect it to fall between the Travato and Transit in cost, and would most likely be rear drive.
The market definitely needs more players in the low to mid price range. The basic Sprinters have gotten so expensive there is not much way they can get into the mid range very far, so lower end is not going to happen with them. Transit may get into mid further than Sprinter, and the gas engine will appeal to many. Big question is what will GM do?
