I know there are some folk that have considered the Sprinters as the replacement of choice in modern vans for our beloved boxes. But not me. I think they are too big, and not particularly attractive. 

Last Friday, I saw a new van that definitely caught my eye. A Dodge ProMaster. The version I saw was the short wheel base low top one one. Nifty looking. They�re front wheel drive (only). Choice of gas or diesel (curiously the transmission is auto for the gas, and manual for the diesel). 

Bigger than a Ford Transit Connect, smaller than any Sprinter. Apparently it is derived from the Fiat Ducato
