Tired of waiting on the T5 to arrive in the U.S. I am now a proud owner of one of the last Dodge (Mercedes) Sprinter vans sold in the US. WOW!!! much larger … great mileage … great ride … just have to convert interior to my needs … something that I would not have had to do with the T5 … but a better resolution in the long run. Thanks VW for converting me.
