Subject:Fiat vans coming to NA As is the Ford Transit
From:Jonce Fancher

Another one is the Ford Transit
The full size one not the Connect.
Also It will sport a 5 cylinder in line Diesel along with the Gas
Versions. Suppose to be out in 2013.

I have a 2003 Sprinter 10 Passenger with the 5 Cyl inline Turbo
Diesel and STILL get 22 Miles Per gallon driving around the CITY!!
Been looking for some thing the same size and with the same MPG. Just
match it and I would be happy. I have the 2300 High Roof LONG wheel base.
Nothing is close to it to replace it so I keep on driving it.
Starting to show its age but it runs perfect and still only has 85k on it.
The new Sprinters do not have the MPG either. Which is Odd. You would
think in 10 years someone would be able to do better. But at this
point no one can match it. Go figure.
