Am I the only one here who would prefer a van over an SUV?

No.
That's a nice, friendly front end.
I had a 1961 VW Type II panel van. On a fresh engine rebuild, I ran 60 miles over the Oregon Coast Range and it took exactly 2 gallons. It had staggered tire sizes, sway bars and gas-pressurized shocks; I had policemen pull me over to tell me how well it went around corners.
85mph top speed and 75mph summiting the Coast Range when empty.
It weighed as much as a Beetle and had 3/4 ton rated axles. Too bad they are unobtanium now.
