I have to also vote for the Honda. While we put off getting a van for a long time, it really does have a huge amount of room while still holding 8 people if you really need to. We went through the same process, and actually bought a MB R350 to replace the audi wagon once we had the third kid, but got rid of it soon as it was underpowered, the back doors open so wide it is hard to get in/out in a regualar parking spot, and way too expensive to maintain for what you get. I have a Yukon, which I love, but it has less storage space than the Honda and gets less MPG.

My wife loves the Honda, and I have to admit it does its job well, but getting over the metal block of being a mini-van owner takes a little time...
