For you large fellas out there, I gotta give another shout out to the Ford Flex. That thing is a rolling La-Z-Boy, and the 2nd row seats are actually quite comfortable for folks of stature as well. In fact, in a pinch I (6'5" 260#) could probably pinch into the 3rd row for short trips. Granted, for folks like Cincy that are in the downsizing process, there's no need for such a big vehicle. But for what I was looking for (capable of taking 5 passengers and eventually a dog on a road trip), it has plenty of size but doesn't look like a minivan. It's more comfortable and roomy than all the other "crossover" SUVs, and outside of something massive like a Yukon/Suburban, has great amount of room. It even handles pretty well for being such a heavy pig...
I have nothing against minivans, BTW. They're *great* family vehicles. But I figured that with only having the kids 40% of the time, I didn't want to be driving a minivan the rest of the time lol.
