This was taken about a month or so back, over in Europe of a truck pulling a bunch of Mercedes Benz Viano vans, however this one stuck out. A Mercedes Viano w/ a Dodge grille? Hmmm, could it be for the european lineup of Dodge vehicles to hit the market soon, when DCX opens Dodge sales up to the european market? Or will it be introduced here!

Here is a pictures of the Mercedes Benz Viano...

Well it turned out to be the 2004 Dodge Sprinter and im not impresed with it only 175hp 0-60 13.5 sec top speed 80mph what the heck.

If i made the car it would have 265hp 0-60 in 8.6sec-9.6sec

 

that's not a sprinter - they are much bigger/taller. note the downsloped roof towards the back, its a mini-van.

why would they want to bleed their own caravan market/capacity by introducing that here? perhaps they think the dodge brand will sell in europe? Har Har!

 

Well yeah, its not a Sprinter.... look for yourself...

I don't like when manufacturers do that. It defeats the purpose pretty much of even creating the vehicle.
