I took this pic last week, and I have seen a few actually in use here. They're HUGE in traffic. :o

I have a hard time warming up to Sprinters after a whole shitload of issues that hit all Mercedes vans in the late 90s /early 2000s and still see to trail beind them like a festering intestine. Stories of exploding engines, rust (to that I can attest myself... how the fuck can a galvanized steel door rust in the middle of the panel on any 3-year old vehicle, nevermind a Mercedes?), hilarious service costs and customer service... It's like W210 all over again for ever...

The Sprinters are the most quick-to-rust vehicles I've ever seen, only saved from top honors because I wasn't around to see the Vega, but I did see the Scout II and Aspire. Within 3 years around here, the doors were disintegrating and bubbly rust was forming in the middle of flat panels. How a modern vehicle manufacturer could fail that bad at rust proofing in this day and age is astounding. Word of mouth go around quick, and these days, contractors either hold on to their old-school Econolines or get the Transit.

#7, quickest to rust vehicles around here including the Toyota Yaris, Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix, Mercedes W210 and W211. Runners up include the Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent, the Mazda 3 and 6, and any Hyundai Sonata made between 2005 and 2010.

Mercedes commercial department was hit with the 'new Benz way' of making cars along with the passenger sector, who knows if not worse. The W638 (first generation Vito) is comedy gold, and I saw and drove a prime example: all body panels rusted (even the roof! the roof!), nothing electical worked anymore, all locks jammed, cracking plastic inside and out, engine failures. Come on Mercedes, how the fuck do you make an old, non-common rail, non turbo, industrial grade boat anchor diesel unreliable? Germans invented diesel for fuck's sake!
