    We were going to get the Infiniti JX, but decided to wait on getting a new car. My prius is only 2 years old and can easily accomodate our family of 4

    We just got a Mercedes GL350 for the 3rd row. It drives really well, happy with it so far.

    i guess it kind of depends on your budget. i drive a chrysler pacifica, and i love it. it feels like a luxury vehicle, but it's moderately priced. so roomy and comfy! of course, they stopped making them in 2008, so you'd have to get a used one.

    I have an Mercedes ML 350 and absolutely love it. Doesn't drive like a truck at all so great for sleeping babies. No third row seats though but we don't need it anyway. Not a fan for the price but most European cars are on the pricier side anyway and not as reliable and the cost of maintenance is high too ($299 or $499/$550) depending on type of service and that doesn't include issues that comes up. I still like it though. The trunk space is great too compared to some of the other cars I test drove in the same class

    The Acura MDX was my next choice but the dealership would not budge on price for me so I left. He didn't seem to care losing my business bc it just sells that well. It's a Honda so is more reliable and it looks nice too. Maintenance is less as well.

    A couple our friends with kids love the Toyota Highlander. Never test drove that one but you can't go wrong with a Toyota.

    The Lexus RX 350 is really nice too. It was also on my list but I know too many people who drove that. I know, dumb reason!

    I have a Toyota 4runner and I love it. Fits our family of 3 plus 3 doggies (including a golden retriever) perfectly, with plenty of room for all our stuff.

    @krsmall: How awesome! I told my husband that our next big car will HAVE to have a rear view camera! Don't you love the panoramic sunroof? I live in california so we're able to enjoy it quite often throughout the year.

    @mrsjyw: as you know when we learned we were having twins we reassessed my car situation STAT as I had an Acura sedan. My Acura was paid off so we wanted something w/ the right monthly payments. Long story short we walked away w/ a brand new Limited Toyota Highlander w/ the backup camera and all sorts of bells & whistles. It's the best decision we made, I LOVE IT!!! If you have any specific questions you know how to reach me xx

    I drive a Nissan Murano and I love it. When we were searching, it was between the Murano, Acura MDX and Lexus RX350. The Murano has a ton of the features that the MDX and RX350 have, but it's significantly cheaper.

    Check out TrueCar.com for pricing info. I thought it was really helpful.
