The Toyota Previa is a shoe in for IMA because it has a second driveshaft going forward that could be replaced with a motor and a bunch of batteries. It's function is to drive the PS pump, alternator and the A/C so you'd have to live without those or fab the motor into the shaft.

That and it has a pretty good CD to start with. .34 It has great modding potential. Mine is now better than my stock 2003 Prius which is listed at .29

I've been dreaming of this for a while. Time and money.
