A Dodge Sprinter stands tall among its competitors with many specifications that are best-in-class, plus some features that are exclusive to this versatile vehicle. While American consumers are quite familiar with full-size vans, the German-built Sprinter itself remains a bit of a novelty. Not exactly exotic, but certainly out of the ordinary.

One of the showstoppers on the 2007 auto show circuit is Ford’s gleaming Airstream Concept vehicle. Initially, Ford and Airstream seem to be an unlikely alliance.
