Saw this on the way to work today.... usually, I'm just taking pictures of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and the Porsche Carrera GT, but here is something I hadn't seen before:

oh ok... when I did a Google search on it, I did find Dodge Sprinter, but I didn't realize they are one and the same!
Reminds me of the weird looking Unimog...

Look at this way... every played that game where someone says a word, and you say something else that it reminds you of? There are different ways you can come up with your answer, just a matter of perspective... :-)
Sometimes one thing will remind you of another thing for certain reasons...

I haven't lived there since the late 1980's, but they used to be quite common in Europe ... perhaps they still are.
Freightliner is one of Daimler's brands, so it is not surprising that they are sold under that name.
Was a little surprised to hear that they are sold under the Dodge name as well, but upon second thought it makes sense, as Daimler now owns Chrysler Corp (and therefore all its brands). After all, the Chrysler 300C and Crossfire have platforms derived from previous generation E-class and SLK, respectively.

Look at Ford and GM... both suffering with cutbacks... but at least GM is going the right way with the new Solstice and Sky convertibles... initial reports say that even pre-orders have been selling out.. !
