Back to back Olds
Daveedo - the corporate GM anteater models where too different (in the EV1 & Insight kind of way) for the buying public. These shapes were definitely aero inspired but the boxy trucky SUVs grew in popularity and soccer minivans were waning. There were ergonomic quirkiness and they did not have any performance or economy advantages compared to the class leaders.
As for your quandary about the body and any eco mods here are your requests how it might look. One has a conservative mod of just echoing the A-pillar frame & glass at the rear and modifying a new D pillar to accommodate the existing sliding door. The OEM wheelbase is kept intact.
The next one has the symmetric mirror-image concept. There are rear lighting mods and a longer wheelbase because of the midline at the C-pillar. It does have a Shinkansen feel about it. The project does have a lot of eco interest potential.
