It'd be nice to actually have truly small trucks like the S10/S15 from '04 and earlier come back into vogue, let alone more normal cars like hatchbacks and sedans and such, and hell, more vans for light commercial work if desired too.

Even minivans can legitimately work pretty well for moving a lot of stuff around if you either remove the seats or fold them into the floor depending on how that's set up, really, say what you will about minivans, but they can hold a lot of stuff with the seats removed/folded into the floor, if you own a minivan and, say, you're renovating your home or whatever, for example, you could fit all the materials for that with the second and third-row seats removed/folded into the floor into maybe a couple trips to your preferred hardware store and be good to go with how much stuff that class of vehicle can carry, and hold it in a way that's easily accessed by a low load floor and sliding doors on one or both sides of the van, just like their full-sized counterparts only smaller and with better fuel economy.
