Here's one of my favorite sites. I go here to see all of the fantastic stuff that MBZ makes that we don't get in the USA:

I've actually seen a V-class up close at Mercedes-Benz of San Francisco (it was the Sprinter model). They have two of them and they actually had the Mercedes emblems on it. For the most part though if you want one you have buy the Dodge Sprinter, which is pretty much a rebadged Mercedes V-class/Sprinter.

V Class/Vito/Sprinter
V Class and sprinters differ.
A V class is a what you call a mini van with seating for up to 8 people and came in europe with a variety of diesel and petrol engines.It also had front wheel drive..weird for an MB.
the sprinter is mainly a bus used for passenger ferrying to airports and so on.
It can carry up to 12 people and their luggage in the extended versions.
Mainly sprinters came only with diesel engines.
The V class or Vito started life in 1996 till 2002..in 2003 it was replaced by the Viano and reverted to rear wheel drive..Also it came with bigger V6 engines rather than the small 4 Cylinders of 2.0 and 2.3
Brabus has tuned a Viano and I'm sure you can see its pics on the Brabus website.
V class/Vito were also tuned by Brabus in and out...
Oh...V class was manufactured in Spain,hence the low build quality...
