That was the Ford Transit Connect. One of the big ironies of that whole situation was that back in the 1960s, Ford was a beneficiary of the tax (which was mostly aimed at Volkswagen). After the tax was enacted, the Type 2 pickup and cargo van disappeared from VW's US product lineup.

The loophole has been closed, and Ford no longer sells the Transit Connect in the US.
