LOL @ gearknob (same with another merc van/mpv thing). It's like they've built the car, finished it and then someone says "Hang on chaps, where's the gearstick?" and someone has just bunged one in anywhere hoping no-one would notice 
Anyway, you can say to all your pals you drive the latest and newest Merc on the roads

But there is so much more room with the gearknob in that place, easy to get out both sides AND its now 6 speed 
They will also be making available a 268 BHP (i think) petrol engine for all new models, sadly it would cost to much for me to run
Only problem I have is I need to keep the spped down after recently reading the mercedes commercial magazine, they have run several tests and have found that sprinters use 40% (yes thats correct) more fuel if you drive at 75mph than if you drive at 60mph, so I have had cruise control added to try and keep my right foot under control
Cant wait!
