People Mover - a new vehicle category?

Ford has announced the new 2014 Transit Connect Wagon, which will go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2013. It's not a minivan or a crossover or an SUV, it's a people mover. Okay then. It's minivan-like proportions will hold five or seven people, depending on which wheelbase, and it's expected to get 30-plus mpg on the highway. One of its features, which I don't believe I've seen before anywhere, is pelvis airbags. Makes me wonder, what's next? Chin straps! Ford says the Transit Connect Wagon "stands out with style." I kind of think it looks like a Kia Soul on steriods. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Read Ford's press release here.
