the sprinter james cook is available in the U.S., under the name of
airstream. the list price is around $80k, but it typically retails for
around $60k. You can have 4WD added, but for that you would have to take it
on a little tour through europe and drop by at iglhaut in southern germany
which makes the excellent conversion with everything you could ever dream
of, including low gears if you wish so.
in addition there is rumor that sportsmobile is developing a poptop for the
2007 sprinter, and as they are also into 4wd conversions, mayb we have a
chance here in the long run?
