It's odd that US Sprinters don't have the same options as Euro ones. They have choices of engines and transmissions in Europe but here it's just the 2.7cdi with 5spd auto. Why not standard transmissions?
They just brought in the cab/chassis options, why didn't they do that right off the bat? The pickup versions, particularly the crew cab versions could be quite popular, especially to motorhome builders.

There's even a 4wd version. Why in the world aren't they importing that one?
