This would be a great OP vehicle and or an emergency restoration response.

Looks like Nissan released their 2 new US commercial vehicles. 

The prototype was just a tease.

I'm not too happy on the looks on exterior, looks like my GMC van with a modern front end. I do like the high ceilings one that goes up to 6'2 in height.  I think the Sprinter is 6 feet.  At least consumers now will have more options, maybe other car makers will start importing more commercial vehicles as well.  I know my next van will deff not be the one I currently have.

Yes, where is the styling? Maybe they wanted to blend in with the GM vehicles too much.

There you go Bill. 5 Cylinder diesel with an allison tranny and you will have a work van that will last 500K miles no problem. I want one too.

That was the exact comment people made when I was down in Rio, they said they didn't care how many miles it had since it is well known it will last a long time.

Yeah, an Allison transmission is in my book one of the best you can ever have. Marry it to a Merc diesel and you will wear out the sheet metal on the Sprinter before the engine and tranny. I wish I could afford one right now. Could you imagine having that thing all blinged out with shelves to the ceiling and being able to walk straight in to access whatever you need? Priceless!!

My spa guy has the tall ceiling one, I'm 6'5 and it was a breeze to walk in.  He had a lot of stuff and still had room in there.  I would only need one shelf with a height like that.  I really like the Mytee rotomolded shelves, they're light weight and very durable.  Been thinking of selling my heavy bulky Adrian Steel and getting it.
