<div>I'm not aware that there is a new Sprinter... if there is, the
appearance must be so similar to the old one that you'd have to look
hard to spot the difference. Mind, most Sprinters here are cab/chassis
(eg ambulances)... the LT is far more common as a unitary van. Hmmm...
if there's a new Sprinter, then what about the LT?</div>

<div>Funny, the day after I posted the above I walked out of a shop
and there was a bright yellow new-model Sprinter sitting there.
Obviously not available in Canada, as I didn't see one in 2 months in
Calgary.</div>

<div>Homonyms in car names bug me. Toyota Sprinter (since 1983 or
eraler), Mercedes Sprinter. Toyota Cielo, Daewoo Ceilo (near-homonym).
Vauxhall Cresta, Toyota Cresta (at least the Toyota was made long
after the Vauxhall). Opel City, Honda City (probably why the Honda
dropped the City name a few years ago).</div>
