Oh good, now I have something to replace the Avalanche with

That's a monstrosity. Then again, I hate vans.

[Flybrian]

For what vans are really used for, these are genuinely good vans. These and the GM twins are pretty much top-of-the-line. Econolines are there for the hell of it.

[loki]

these things seem so much more top heavy compared to the savannas....it's prolly a great cargo van, i know a few of our suppliers use them, ....

is it safety required, but what's up w/ the slopping down outside to inside windows in the back? (the bottom of the window, like the enclave has)

Very nice. Is it still diesel powered? The current Sprinter gets excellent gas mileage.

[Intrepidation]

From what I can see it's a diffinate improvement over the old one. That rear door design is prettyu neat looking. Hopefully this time around it will get a more powerful diesel.

[Derek77]

By far the best full sized van you can get in the states.

The present van is selling way past expectations.

Isn't the R class the Mercedes of vans? :AH-HA_wink:

No, no, I'm wrong... Mercedes doesn't have a van of any sort!

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Wow. It looks so top heavy.

Two rear wipers? Well, that's pretty neat.

Hey, that looks pretty good as a motorhome!

[njtex]

They really are great vans. For local road use they beat GM's vans, on the highway, GM's vans are better. I also like the fact that MB has made some styling changes that make the new one look less like a work truck.

Demand must be good because aside from the Viper and a few high-end MB models, Sprinter is about the only DCAG vehicle not in the employee purchase plan.

Looks like a '97 Trans Sport Montana stretched upwards.

They have sold so far above expectations that the parts distribution system is wholly inadequate.

There are several Sprinters around here that have the M-B grille and badging...also the Freightliner ones.

[aaaantoine]

What an eyesore.
