Is the US Sprinter really available with a gasoline engine? Will anyone write an article about the Mercedes-Benz T1 van?!

  • There is an article; go to Mercedes-Benz TN.194.25.108.84 13:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mercedes-Benz Connection

To be clear, are the Dodge/Freightliner Sprinters sold in North America manufactured by Mercedes-Benz? Which year-models have the inline-5 turbodiesel?

  • All model years from 1995 to 2006 are using the 5 cylinder turbodiesel.194.25.108.84 13:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes they are manufactured in Germany. Then broken down and shipped to North America. They are then reassembled and sold under the Dodge/Freightliner band name. All that is different is the front grill/badge. That is all the design input that Dodge/Freightliner has with the vehicle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.85.45.226 (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New 2006 Sprinter

There's no mention of the new generation Sprinter [1], which is already available in Europe. GagHalfrunt 13:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mercedes in America

I saw a Mercedes Sprinter on the road last sunday, but I didn't notice what side the wheel was on.--Jnelson09 18:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen some Mercedes-Benz Sprinters in America, too. Since when have they been sold in the USA? Sgt. Bond 00:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dodge Sprinters in America

There are several Dodge Sprinters in my area... they have the standard American left-handed steering, and I believe have gasoline engines. Ahanix1989 13:33, 09 August 2006

According to Dodge's official website the Sprinter is only available with a diesel engine.Dusty duster 17:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dodge Van

Would've been nice if they had kept the American design. The Sprinter is too tall and has small wheels...good for high density Europe but too foreign for the US. RMartinez

[edit] Ambulances...

Might there be too many pictures of Sprinter ambulances? 24.197.165.120 04:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes. And a disproportionate number of photos from Hong Kong. Could someone post images from elsewhere in the world, being used as something other than ambulances? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.128.109.242 (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who wrote this ****?

"This is a peculiar statement because where is it that 3.5% of the available market is "immense popularity"?"

Between statements like that and the rest of the copy sounding like a promotional ad for the Sprinter, this article could use some major cleanup...

Please don't use such language (as was in the title). Thank you! :) Strawberry Island 00:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the Sprinter

I'm curious as to how the Sprinter was released on the American market. I mean, back in 2002 I saw a Freightliner Sprinter ambulance at an air show, and I was surprised to see one there. It's great that we actually have a European-styled van sold here. I like it better than American-style vans such as the Ford Econoline. Heck, if Mercedes-Benz can sell the Sprinter in the USA, then why not have the Ford Transit sold here, or have the Opel Movano sold here under the Chevrolet & GMC brands? Why is the Sprinter the only van of its kind sold in America? What gives? All that aside, the Sprinter is a cool van. Sgt. Bond 00:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
