Surprised VW doesn't sell that here in the U.S. The Sprinter and Transit both do pretty well.

All of the new ambulances around here are Sprinters.

Does VW even sell any commercial vehicles in the US?


Here we have a bunch of commercial VWs.

No, they don't.  And given the success of Euro-style commercials like the Ford Transit Connect and Mercedes Benz Sprinter in the US, I think VW is leaving a shitload of money on the table by not offering their commercial vehicles over here.

And they're probably also loosing money by not offering the Polo and Scirocco over there! Man, America is missing out!

Why would anyone spend extra to get a Mercedes star on their van knowing it's exactly the same underneath?  Unless it doesn't cost extra, just guessing
