On a related topic, Mercedes has developed a new modular engine family that includes both gasoline and diesel. I really like that they are going back from V-6 to I-6 (inline 6-cylinder). Some of the new engines will include electrification using 48-Volt power to augment performance and fuel economy. Use of electric air-conditioning compressors is of particular interest to me because it may eliminate the need for a secondary A/C for camping. Maybe a little wishful thinking there on my part.
Mercedes is reportedly doing a redesign of Sprinter for 2018, but I haven't found information on whether the Sprinter will get the new inline-six or not.
