lets see... I have twins ... and possibly 2 more coming in the near future... I can buy a SUV which seats them all ... or a hybrid which carries me and my lunch packed tightly... close call... but I gotta stay with the SUV. And that doesn't even take into account that I can write off the entire cost of the SUV from my federal taxes since it weights more than 6,000 pounds.

IMO a better idea would be to get an Odyssey. Your kids can get in by themselves (saving your back from lifting them into the middle row), and it's easier for them to get out. More cargo room to boot. Don't forget better mileage :).

We looked at Suburbans, and ended up getting a van. I don't tow anything.

Bad Idea IMHO. I bought one of those new, planned to drive it 6 years, but only kept it less than a year. I found the suspension rode hard, and the seats were also exceptionally hard. The combination made for an uncomfortable vehicle. As a result, I reluctantly got rid of it, as otherwise, it was a nice vehicle.
