Allow me to restate my original question.
Which vehicle would you recommend within the size requirements I detailed?
More to the point - which vehicle which is big enough ...well, if you encountered me on the highway, which one would you see me in and not think dark thoughts about what a self-indulgent pig I was?

I would LOVE to have a big vehicle which gets good mileage. I'll admit that big is priority 1 for now. Less important to me (but still important enough that I'll engage the topic) is having a big, capable, safe (etc.) ride which won't earn me the scorn of my environment-conscious brethren.

So the question is this: is there a compromise vehicle which will meet my stated needs and satisfy your stated consumer ethic?

[tangential thought] In NZ, you have something unique and wonderful. Usable amounts of geothermal energy. An electric vehicle makes sense there. Imho electrics are a red herring in the USA or Europe. The energy has to come from somewhere. Burning coal to make electricity, then transmitting&storing it in big heavy battery packs strikes me as... artless. I'd prefer a nuclear power plant - although I concede that south of the equator nukes are looked upon with the distaste we Yanks reserve for, say, Leninism.
Maybe diesel? ...When fuel is grown, not drilled, and emissions law has caught up with the waxburners. it might happen soon. BWDIK? :-)
