A few observations after viewing the order guide.
A 2016 cargo van with optional power mirrors, backup camera, and cruise control for $29,000? These "options" have been standard equipment for years on economy cars & should be standard on the Metris. If Mercedes wants to cut costs make the "crosswind assist" an option. I have been driving vans for 20+ years, taller in stature than the Metris & have never had an issue with a cross wind. I use cruise control, a backup camera, & side mirrors everyday.
The Metris looks like an interesting vehicle, I am scratching my head about it being sold & serviced by the 200 Sprinter dealers exclusively? There is no Sprinter dealer in Minneapolis/St.Paul a metro area of 4+million folks, the closest dealer is in Rochester, 85 miles from me. I have a Mercedes auto dealer about 10 miles away, can they do an oil change on a Metris or any warranty work? The motor & transmission are in other Mercedes cars, why can't a regular Mercedes dealer service a Metris? Metris sales will be much higher if any Mercedes dealer can service it.
