Of course we can't have this here due to the ANTI-DIESEL-WINGNUTS. Have at it, fellas, I'm loving the warm weather.

Where's my motivation? Where's my 3L Lupo?

We would call this a minivan on this side of the pond. Nonetheless, higher fuel prices have led to increased interest in wagons and minivans, as well as diesel powered vans. For example, the diesel Sprinter (DaimlerChrysler) is popular amongst delivery and service fleets. Ford Escort wagons have also replaced some SUVs for contractors/repairmen.

Not really. This is a commercial vehicle. Occasionally I’ll see a PT Cruiser outfitted for
delivery service., but this category simply doesn’t exist in the US.

How about "microvan"?

Dursun,
There are minivans with similar characteristics. They are usually found with fleet or commercial operators, and are rare. These vehicles are exactly the same as passenger models, except for the fact that they do not have rows of passenger seats, or windows to go with those missing seats. Often, no more than sheet metal is there, which is sometimes outlined/indented where the windows were (factory touch).
_In some cities, to take advantage of residential plates, these cargo minivans/small vans are conversions of passenger models. They still have windows (tinted or shaded to conceal valuable/expensive tools) and removable seats (weekend jaunts and transporting people), but their main purpose is to haul equipment to and from jobsites. Typically, these are used by self-employed repairmen, or small businesses.
_Their appeal is their better fuel mileage vs SUVs, greater interior space vs wagons, and more volume out of the elements vs light pickups, most of the time. Those that need more usually take to full size vans and larger commercial vehicles.

Or a Supermini. It is much lighter than minivans here. According to Peugeot, the "Kerb" weight is 1,055kg, 2,327lb base, and 1,130kg, 2,492lb for the other models. This is in the range of B segment cars.

For the record, in Ireland these are considered commercial vehicles and you pay no VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax) on them which would otherwise be 25% (on top of VAT which is 21%).
It is not possible (legally) put a second row of seats in them and the back windows are blacked out with steel.
[ Very dangerous, can't see through metal ]
They are used by tradesmen (and women) who have realised that they do not go off road very much (or at all) and do not need a SUV to maintain their self esteem.
But it is a great engine !
Peugeot, Citroen and I think Volvo use it (in the v50).
Peugeot has a Minivan (or MPV as we call them) but it is much larger.

The boring-ness of this car is second only to the Citroën Berlingo..! (same platform)

Great new engine, though!

Mahonj,
I was refering two versions of what I see out there. In cargo versions of minivans/small vans, the second and third row side windows, are nonexistant. Windows on the rear doors still exist, for interior rear view mirrors. As for the conversions I was refering to, they are passenger to cargo, and most retain their OEM removable/stowable/foldable passenger seats. Some owners add tinted windows or removable shades/blinds/curtains, to conceal expensive equipment from possible id, and theft by criminals.

Mahonj:

For this X-mas season Wall Mart and Canadian Tire have wireless back-up camera kit for about 130$US. Camera is installed behind license plate (small hole is drilled), and flat screen is attached to fold-down sun shade in front of driver.

I believe it is a must for all minivans, SUVs, trucks, and any vehicle with tinted rear windows.

That's funny. A must for all minivans, etc... How about just being aware of your surroundings before backing up? OK, how about a $10 back-up "beep beep" light bulb? That way, anyone stupid enough not to move when the beep-beep starts and you hit, you can actually sue them for emotional damages!

Yep. There seems to be no limit on the number of dumass gee-gaws the American/Canadian automfgs offer....but light-duty diesel, hybrid tek, anything substantial? Im holding my breath...oh, wait Ive got a euroturbodiesel and a Hondahybrid. Never mind.
Wake up Detroit.

Anon,

People should be more aware of their surroundings but an 8 yr old standing at under 4ft is difficult to see behind a small vehicle, let alone a larger vehicle (vans, SUVs, trucks). Young children are not likely to care if they hear a beeping sound either.
