Sprinter with a gas engine: big, fast, and thirsty

davert submitted on 5/11/2007 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 3:11:18 PM

The Sprinter was engineered and built by Mercedes; the sole Dodge contribution to the project was their logo. Though it is versatile and unique, it could have used an injection of Dodge common sense. An aggressive gear ratio makes it very loud and th...
