FRESH,WE NEED THIS IN THE A
Increasingly concerned with comfort and less with some stodgy image, luxury buyers are ditching the traditional limousine in favor of more commodious modes of transportation. A few months ago, we brought you news of the exclusive Sprinter Grand Edition from Mercedes-Benz Manhattan, but if laying out $190,000 for the privilege of riding in an opulent van doesn’t strike you as a smart buy, you may want to turn to Brilliant Transportation.
The luxury shuttle service operates fleets in New York and Los Angeles. Its vans — based on theMercedes-Benz Sprinter — may look like delivery trucks, but inside they’re more luxurious than aMaybach.
Four leather arm chairs and a plush rear bench distinguish the interior, along with a pair of 32-inch flat-screen televisions, with wireless headphones, satellite TV and an eight-speaker sound system. There’s also wireless internet on board, a color printer and speaker phone.
