    Dang- you already got snow?

    And maybe Fiat is considering a Ducato based Ram Van since the old Ram Van was killed off and Dodge lost the Sprinter.

    Doesn't that look like a Sprinter van? Any full side shots?
    Oh, btw, you are being paged in the ST thread.

    Nice

    IIRC, I believe these are coming to US showrooms (soon?) and to be branded as RAM.

    Wait a second... the OP's is at least five years old.

    Here is what a new Ducato looks like.
    Maybe they use old one anyway to cut costs?
    Still being sold in some countries?

    Good catch, are they being sold in Mexico?

    Yet VW, not Fiat buys Ducati motorcycle company.
    I'd rather hug a tree than a terrorist

    I say it's either from Mexico, or it's government (military) owned. For fleet vehicles, the GOV buys whatever is the cheapest, and when I was in Germany, our squadron owned a fleet of Ducatos, and in the same exact color. Just food for thought. And I can tell you that those things with the diesel engine are slow pigs, and are scary to drive at anything over 85 mph.
    Jack of all trades.
