    First off, holy crap @ the color palette available for this van. Five reds, six silver/grays, six blues?? Two blacks, two whites, two yellows, a brown, and an aqua?? I haven't seen aqua as a color option since the 90s. (Then again, obviously I haven't been looking hard enough). Still, it's awesome to see such a variety.

    Secondly, MB needs to rename this vehicle. "Sprinter" implies a certain swiftness that 30 lb/hp can't possibly deliver. Might I suggest "Slug", "Sloth", "Slowpoke", or "Somnolent"? (Yes, I used a thesaurus for that last one...)
