What Jeff said, Buy a Sprinter :) Slightly off topic, I saw a *Mercedes* Sprinter in Indiana today. Has MB ever sold a properly badged Sprinter in the NA region? If the guy hadn't been on his way somewhere (ie filling up, getting out to get lunch, etc) I would have stopped and asked if he had just bought the proper Euro parts to take it back to MB badging.
Though .... it was a work Sprinter, hauling a small trailer, very short wheel base, no windows in cargo area .... so for a van that was obviously for work and not show it doesn't make sense that they would have gone through the trouble to Euro-ize it.
