Okay, I kinda know where that is. That is the intersection where you either go right to Brunswick or straight to Savannah?

Interesting...I thought they were going to market them under the Freightliner name.

Or maybe this will replace the Dodge vans...

It is at dodge.com

Here is the link

http://www.dodge.com/sprinter/index.html?context=homepage&type=top

I was wondering if the Cap'n had been cruising the Dodge website.

Boy, I guess no one on here likes Dodge, eh?

Actually, it looks like a nice setup...my only complaint is that they don't appear to have a 15 seater version...

According to Dodge's specs, the 270 CDi puts out almost as much power as my 6.9l cornbinder...

Well, it's not that !! O.K., then maybe it is! I would just think that the Mercedes nameplate would carry the vehicle better than,..... well you know. Also, now we Georgians can't even claim to have a Mercedes factory!! We're not even as good as EEEK!! ALABAMA !! DODGE!!! Suddenly I feel like Al Bundy!!
