My $.02

3 year lease on GL 320, R Class, QX 56, Sequoia or Expedition EL. You're not going to want to see that car after 3 years. The latter two are probably your best bets. I agree that a minivan isn't that great IMO.

My half-sister is raising 5 kids in a Sequoia and I'm pretty sure she will need to pay someone to take it from her.
