I think a newer VW diesel would be great for this kind of experiment...especially since they did come with 4wd so the rear suspension should be easily modifiable.

I'm thinking perhaps a VW Jetta diesel wagon with the rear drivetrain from a VW Golf Synchro / Rallye and an electric motor in place of the driveshaft.
