Jan 19th 2008 12:30PM How about the JDM Toyota Estima Hybrid minivan? It uses the Camry Hybrid's setup but in an egg-shaped vehicle about the size of the departed Mazda MPV. It goes for about mid-$30k range over there, but it would have to be modified for these shores.

In the Autoblog Garage: 2007 Mazda5 Touring {Autoblog}
Dec 18th 2007 12:34PM Correction: NA Mazda5's with the slushbox don't have paddle shifters; there's no 2nd row 12V power jack but there is one behind the 3rd row.
08's are now arriving at dealerships, my brother bought one last week. Storage is no different except the console between the front seats is smaller due to AC ducting to the 2nd row. ESC, Plus One (7th) seat, power sliding doors & hatch remain unavailable in NA.

2008 Mazda5 gets less change in US trim {Autoblog}
Dec 4th 2007 1:29PM Mazda5 is classified as a station wagon, not a truck, so no tinted windows.
That's Copper Red Mica, not Velocity Red.
Rear view cameras are cheap, not a big deal but kids in child seats in the 3rd row do get in the way of rear visibility, though. Power sliders are nice but add weight and the 2008 with 5AT weighs about 3500lbs. Lack of ESC remains quite annoying as all JDM and EU markets get it.
