isn't that the first gen, that anyway existed only as Dodge/Freightliner (and was commonly rebadged as Mercedes afterwards) ?

its a 1st gen. as for rebadging, you might be right, i can't tell them apart unless i have a visual proof of which one it is. also saw Link to "www.kijiji.ca" and a few on the road here so i supposed that they were sold as Mercedes in US too

Someone posted somewhere that in Canada they were sold as Mercedes-Benz too, but we're still not sure if the info is accurate or if these were rebadged (like what was commonly done).
For example the Wikipedia link showing a silver Mercedes is most likely a rebadged one, due to the "2500" label on the door (I think ?)

edit:
Quote The first generation (VA Chassis) North American Sprinter was launched in 2001 in the U.S. and was originally branded as a Freightliner. Units sold to the rest of North America were badged as Mercedes-Benz until 2003 when they received Dodge branding. Units in the United States and Canada, but not in Mexico, could be purchased as a Dodge or Freightliner from 2003.

(Wikipedia)
So we can assume that 2001-2002 are Freightliner in US, Mercedes in Canada. Then 2003+ are either Dodge or Freightliner...
The most generic name would then be Freightliner Sprinter, though that the Dodge version seems more commonly seen in US movies.

@rjluna2: your links show 2007+ models ;)
If Dodge, the one of this page is then a 2003+ model. As Freightliner, a 2001+ one.
