I may have just missed it, but it's not clear to me from the article whether the Sprinter cutaway is included in this announcement or not. It's certainly of interest to class B owners, tho'. There have been some 3rd party converters of full-bodied Sprinters, but I've heard that they've mostly been somewhat unsatisfactory. Apparently the MB traction control & ABS and the 4x4 systems used here haven't liked to play well together.
But it'll certainly be a way for MB to at least partly trump Ford and Dodge's now Eurovans. At what price remains to be seen.
