It should win, but I don't think that it will.
Why it should:
It's an SUV, and SUVs are cooler than minivans so moms buy them
Its quick
Its capable
Its a large, quick, capable vehicle that gets 32 MPG Hwy. Package this system up in an Avalon/ES/IS.

Could have easily used that same line when Mercedes-Benz was rolling out innovations like ABS and Airbags.
We don't stifle progress because it may cost money. Kudos to Mercedes-Benz As they say in their most recent commercial, "If you want to see where cars will be tomorrow, come and see where the 2010 E-Class is today.
