New diesel offering from Dodge due in 2003
I thought this was relevant considering it will be a "Dodge diesel". :<br><br>Quote from this month'sTruck Trend<br>"...... no product has taken more advantage of the corporate portfolio than the Dodge Sprinter van. A direct transplant from Europe, the Sprinter offers Dodge a rather unique vehicle for the U.S. commercial market. The big box will be sold in three wheelbases (118, 140, and 158 inches) with two available roof heights, offering from 247 to 473 square feet of storage space. Motivation comes from an efficient five-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 2.7-liter turbodiesel engine, producing 154 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. Pricing starts at $26,765 for the cargo van and $28,260 for the passenger van."<br><br>Sprinter?...hmmmm....I doubt it considering the 154 ponys.

I've seen three of them on the road. Look like a refirgerator box with wheels. Not rally up there in the style category but who am I to say.
