manual transmision

[cdkmatrix]

It it possible to buy a sprinter with manual 5 or 6 speed transmission in Canada or the US?

Alternatively does anyone know of links to buy and import from europe? What about Mexico because of NAfta?

I think the more appropriate question is whether there will be ANY Sprinters available in North America after 2009.

Hi mendonsy,

what information do you have about sprinters not being available at all?

[mendonsy]

NONE!! That's the whole point.
Dodge, Freightliner, and Mercedes won't discuss the 2010 model year at all. It seems awfully late for that to be happening.
There has been some discussion on the other sprinter forums about this, but nobody seems to have any answers.

That's not entirely true: The Sprinter Engineering and Compliance Support Team published a document about model year 2010 emission control features on Sprinters. They published it on the Dodge body builder website.

Generally speaking, Dodge/Freightliner/MB usually let the marketing literature speak for the model year and don't "pre-release vehicle option information."
