I say find a nice retro volkswagen van from the 70's. Put a mailbox in front of it, shoot out the tires, and voila!, you're home.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Don't forget to paint some flowers on it.

I have owned a Dodge Grand Caravan and I currently own a Kia Sedona. I would get a Honda Odyssey if money is not an object. I got the Kia used at a great price and it is better than the Dodge, but that is not exactly high praise.

If Kia is under Hyundai's wing, they should keep getting better. I saw the new Optima, built on the Sonata platform no doubt, very attractive car, looks very Euro-upscale.

I think that minivans generally get better gas mileage than 7 passenger SUV's. The XC90 is rated at 16/22 compared to 19/28 for the Odyssey.

Tom, look up a 2wd Acadia on your US fuel chart for comparison. The Canadian fuel guide has it almost the same as the Odyssey.

Ah! I did not know that an Acadia had a third row of seats. My mistake - sorry.
