...this truck is called "Sprinter" in Europe. It is basically a delivery van available as a passanger van.

The V-Class is the beefed up version of the Vito. The Vito is a front wheel drive micro van assembled in Spain. The V 280 six cylinder is produced by VW, since Mercedes Benz was stupid enough to design the Vito in such a way, that no Mercedes six cylinder was fitting in it.

Vito and V-Class are poorly assembled, they don't even bother to put the fallen of pieces back into the car at the dealers show room. If you want a well build car in that class you should choose the VW.

The Sprinter is a different story. They are pretty relaible as a delivery van, with the 154 hp Diesel they run about 100 mph until the speed limiter cuts in. Since they are below 2.8 tons they have no legal speed limit on the Autobahn in Germany.

Kind regards
