Need new Family Vehicle???
We need to replace the family vehicle soon. Presently, we have a 2006 Honda Odyysey Van. We have four kids so I know that we are limited in terms of what we can look at that will accommodate the sic of us and still have some truck/storage space in the back.
My wife would like to not get another minivan so have been thinking about the following: Honda Pilot Buick Enclave What other vehicles should I be looking at? Any ideas/insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

A family friend also didn't like to use condoms, therefore he also has 4 children The mother has a diesel R-Class. I hated that car and still do, however for them i can't think of any better vehicle by Europe's standards. In US though, things are different.

Budget?
Ford explorer GMC Acadia Denali, my sister had one as a loaner, I was pleasantly suprised. It has almost minivan functionality without the stigma |

The MB R-Class is a Chrysler Pacifica under the skin. Awful in both iterations!!!

Another option for your family is the VW Touran but not sure if the car is available in the states... With an awesome gas mileage,the Touran is a good multi purpose vehicle (mpv) to shuttle your family around |

The Infinite doesn't get good reviews unfortunately and it is priced at a premium. What about the Land Rover LR4? The Nissan Pathfinder? The Ford Flex? These are what she likes....
