whats with the new vans???

The new ram is just a rebadged Fiat, they have had that exact van in Europe for years. The FWD is a good thing. It allows for a lower floor in the rear which can give you stand up height inside without having to be taller overall outside which kills fuel economy. The lower floor makes getting in back easier as well. FWD is a dream where you get snow too. You can get a small diesel version as well. Ulgy yes but better in every area then the sprinter or the 80s and 90s B series.
