I voted for #2. I feel the same way about hybrid SUVs as I do about regular SUVs. They don't get good gas millage and most people could use other types of vehicles. Most people can get buy without 4 wheel drive. Minivans and wagons are a much better option for holding stuff or people.
Lets compare two fairly close engine sized vehicles. I assume the minivan wins out because of aerodynamics, weight, and less knobby tires.
2007 2wd Dodge Caravan 6cyl 3.8L (16city/23hwy)
2007 2wd Dodge Durango 6cyl 3.7L (14city/19highway)
The Durango can tow a lot more, but the caravan can hold more (volume).
Caravan
Luggage Capacity: 23.5 cu. ft. Maximum Cargo Capacity: 129 cu. ft.
Durango
Luggage Capacity: 20.1 cu. ft. Maximum Cargo Capacity: 102 cu. ft.
