Rumormill: Dodge to replace Sprinter will full-size van from Nissan
AutoBlog

We've heard through the grapevine that another element of the collaboration between Chrysler LLC and Nissan, in addition to the latter giving the former a small car and the former giving the latter a pickup, is that Chrysler will be ditching its Daimler-sourced Sprinter commercial van in favor of a rebranded Nissan van by 2011. As we already know, Nissan is planning on producing three new light commercial vehicles for the U.S. at its plant in Canton, Mississippi, and it will be sourcing some engines for its new LCVs from Cummins. Thus, we would also expect to see the familiar sight of a Cummins diesel under the hood of Dodge's version, as well. Will we discover even more sharing between Chrysler and Nissan as time goes on? Our sources say these companies aren't finished raiding each other's parts bins by a long shot.

 

Rumor it will continue tobe. The Sprinter sells excellent because it's efficient, reliable, has a great amount of space, is available with a Benz diesel and looks good.

If anything happens it will be sold side by side, it won't simply replace the ever lasting Sprinter.

 

LOL I could hear you kissing Mercedes *** from miles away on that one.

 

The sprinter sells well? Since when? The old ram van out sold it almost two to one. It does well commercially, but not in retail sales. In retail sales the ram van out sells it almost 4 to one!

 

Wtf is with the missing posts? Seriously, this is the second time today. Chase, who deleted them and why?

 

It has to do with the issues from the other day. It wiped out all the posts from a certain time period and we have no word on if we are gonna get them back.
