Wanna know what's really cool about the Sportsmobile? They can be equipped with something called "Chillidog". When the temperature rises inside the closed van where you had to leave your designer dogs, the engine starts and the A/C comes on and cools things down. This according to the owner of a very well equipped 4X4 one with two large dogs near the beach in San Diego last year.
