The V10 has been out of production for several years now. Yes, there are a lot still on the road which proves their durability.
Godzilla isn't much better, in torque, HP, and fuel economy. Still needs to rev up to do it.

Even Ford has tried to emulate the Sprinter with their Transit cab chassis and vans.
The Transit has been in production in EU since 1965, long before the Sprinter which did not go into production until 1995.
It was closer to an overweight Transit Connect in appearance, when it was introduced in 1965 in Europe (the EU didn't exist back then) and was not as pretty as the 2013 models, that were introduced in North America, to mimic and compete with the very successful MB Sprinter.
