I forgot to make a suggestion for a vehicle to adapt this to - What about making this for the Chevy Equinox or the Ford Escape?
Both are popular, medium-size SUVs and would stand to gain a good amount with a Kammback, and both appeal to drivers who want MPGs as well; my neighbor is getting an Escape to replace his full-size van and my wife wants an Equinox, due to GM's claims of next year's model getting 32 mpg highway with the 4-cyl.
(I'm still dragging my feet - if we buy a new car it should be capable of getting 40 hwy IMO)
