Quite oversized for my standards (white Brazilian from the early-'90s who grew up surrounded by all sort of econoboxes, mostly with 1.0L engines and manual transmissions, and even the trucks tended to be smaller back in the day), but the aerodynamics seem to be quite good for such a large car.

All Sienna's are hybrid in the US now, so it was on my list of candidate vehicles. The problem here is they retain their value on the used market, so I could get a 3 year old Sienna for $40k, or a Pacifica plug-in hybrid for $20k.
I went with the Pacifica. I'd consider simple aero mods for it. I'll be installing a hitch, so that could serve as the mounting point for the mod. As I'm always mentioning, it should be a simple matter to construct a cargo carrier that improves the aerodynamic shape.
That's my million dollar idea for the week; a company that makes model specific cargo carriers that improve aerodynamics.
