Fairly substantial price increase. I will admit a major draw of this small truck was the affordability. I think some trims are up as much as $2k. Wonder what kind of effect this will have on demand and the order banks.

I don't know of any minivans that can get 40MPG. A bed is useful for loose material, things like gravel, dirt, or mulch. Not to mention, I am not sure if minivans can fit 4x8 sheets.

The Toyota Sienna gets 36MPG and comes in an AWD option. And all of them are Hybrids. I do see where your coming from on the bed being good for loose materials.

Minivans definitely could fit 4x8 sheetgoods with the seats out but the complicating factor is the loss of removable seats. The Sedona (and I assume Carnival) will only let you collapse the 2nd row against the front seats (don't know if that's enough to get the 8' in) and the new Sienna's 2nd row doesn't fold or come out at all without disassembly.
