one more thing you might want to consider is the gas mileage - especially with today's gas prices and the newly proposed gas tax on top of that! As much as I think an SUV is "cooler" than a minivan, the practicality of it points to having a minivan. My sister has an expedition, and although it's a cool car the maximum miles they've had on the highway is 17 miles/gallon (that was pushing it). The caravan that we have has gone up to 20 miles/gallon. Plus, they had to rent a topper for additional cargo space - we didn't have to with the minivan..plus on long trips, I'm usually going back and forth from the front to the back for the kids etc. It's nice to have the room to move around...
