Every Sprinter I saw in Calgary this year had Dodge badges. Didn't
see any LT versions.

Of course the differences are not just the dash and nose treatment;
Mercedes & VW will fit their own transmissions, engines and possibly
also front suspensions. At least the Merc nose isn't ugly... can't
say the same about the VW, except that the Fort Transit is even
uglier... maybe.

This vehicle is a big step up for Mercedes; its previous van didn't
even have independent FRONT suspension.
