The Dodge Sprinter came a bit late to our shores: It's been sold worldwide since 1995 as the Mercedes Sprinter and is a popular commercial van in Europe and elsewhere. However, it launched in the United States in 2003 under the Dodge marque and somehow hasn't quite made the splash the good people at Daimler-Chrysler hoped.
This may change with the 2007 redesign. The new Dodge Sprinter has a more aerodynamic look, but still preserves the spacious, sturdy elements of the original design. And how often do you get Mercedes-Benz engineering at Dodge prices?
The Dodge Sprinter is a popular choice for hotel shuttles, wheelchair conversions, and other commercial applications. High Roof models are favorites for RV makeovers as well. The only thing keeping the Sprinter from being one of America's most popular full-size vans may be its sticker price; we'll see if the 2007 relaunch boosts its market share.
