Minivan is the way to go, man. They're WAY more practical than those stupid SUV's. For example our neighbors have a Chevy Suburban. They got a new TV and had to literally wedge it into the back of it. If we had gotten a new TV, just fold down the stow and go seats of my mom's T&C and you could have fit at least two of the TV's they had in there. They also get better gas mileage than most SUV's which are actually just station wagons on stilts. I would say a Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna is the way to go. We have an '05 Town and Country Limited with navi and rear DVD. It's pretty nice but Daimler hasn't quite figured out the whole safety aspect yet as some of the Japanese companies have. I'm 18 now and we've always had a minivan in the family since my dad traded his Toyota pickup in when I was 1. I also only have one younger brother - we're not a 3-4 kid family. They're not cool or fast or fun to drive, but they get the job done. Comfortably too. The ones you have listed aren't bad but 3rd seat accessibility sucks. I've ridden in my Aunt's 2006 MDX and woah I would not want to be stuck in the 3rd row for any extended period of time. Personally, I don't think I will ever be buying a minivan as I (hopefully) never plan to have more than two kids and a cool, sporty sedan like a 9-5, G35, TL, or A6 will work fine for that kind of stuff.
