Front Passenger Wheelchair - Dispair?

Last week one of my previous customer brought in with her a new friend she had just found at a Lexus store.
I have sold cars for about 6 years now and this I must admit is my biggest challenge.
My prospect/new customer to be has a situation.
She would like to be able to take her now disabled husband around with her in the car. Not only does she want him to ride around with her, but she would rather he sits in the front with her. She cannot carry him, so would like to be able to put the wheelchair in the front passenger area or have something that will work.
After a few days of searching, I found out that UK has more available in like of disabled people and mobility options. I found only 1 (one) website with only 1 (one) option for the whole wheel chair to be in the front seat area. This was at http://www.mobility-centres.org.uk/informationsheets/wheelchairsystems.htm, unfortunately the page does not even say what is the brand of wheel chair.

The next best thing I could find is the Bruno Turnout with Carony (wheel part), www.accessoptions.com/liftsloadersetc/seating.htm
The Bruno option is sooooo cool. Unfortunately it cannot be put in any of the import except Toyota Scion XB, which after driving she just loathed, and Dodge Grand Caravan, or Chrysler Town and Country or even middle section of Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. She wants nothing to do with Mini-Vans.

Does any one have any suggestions or ideas?
