The current generation of Euro vans might not be the best-looking, and sure the Sprinter looks too narrow and tall, but nobody can deny they're actually quite practical. It's even easier to load and unload an Euro van with a forklift than doing it in an American full-size van.

I also think the Nissan van is ugly.
And it is ugly as hell. Even the forward-control van offered by Nissan in Asia and Central America is better-looking than that.

The van we looked at was a 1996-2002 Chevy Express four headlight model (that is also the model we rented). I don't remember the specific year. I think that is the most aesthetically pleasing van design in the past 30 years.
Gotta agree with you about the Chevy Express of that generation being the best-looking American full-size van. Anyway, too bad the smaller Chevrolet Astro doesn't have the seating capacity you'd want, even though some Euro vans comparatively-sized do have.
