    Anyone know of a Hybrid Van available or coming soon in the US. I need a new delivery vehicle for my store, but the Cargo Compartment needs to be at least 48" wide and at least 7 feet long. Neither the Highlander nor the Escape has a large enough Cargo area.

    Or even a diesel Van. (Need the glass all around that a van has rather than a Delivery Box Truck) Van is cheaper than a box truck anyway.

    Ever looked at the Dodge (Mercedes-Benz) Sprinter or is it too narrow?

    Would probably work but at $39K it is kinda pricey.

    Well the HiHy is around that price too!

    Hmm... what else.. I assume a Jetta Sportwagon TDI is too small? Passat TDI? Otherwise you're probably looking at GMC Savannas.
