" ... extended family trips."
For some reason, I pictured Klaus with his wife, kids, in-laws, his parents, their kids, all the cousins ...Oh, that would be a nightmare. My wording was a little ambiguous. I meant long trips with my wife&kids. Things like "start a trip to Spain at 8pm and arrive next morning" don't work with the limited space on the back bench and three kids that are almost as big as adults by now.

My gosh, that is gorgeous! The Metris is basically a cargo van with seats forced into it, but the V-Class... Wow!
@George-K I take it you've never ridden in a limo? Rear-facing seats are fine, it's just those flimsy little seats in the back of station wagons that aren't allowed anymore.
@Klaus something like the V-Class could get me to seriously consider getting a van again, though Karla is pushing for a Mustang or Charger.

No, your wording was fine. I just saw a second version in my mind, one that was like a nightmare indeed.

Steer clear of the Charger.

Problem with the muscle cars is the have shit visibility.
Get the Mustang, at least it comes in a convertible. Then you can see.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Bought it today.
@taiwan_girl the seats can be flipped in either direction. Everything is mounted on rails. It's also very simple (but requires some heavy lifting) to remove seats. We'll probably remove one seat most of the time, such that we have more space for stuff.

Klaus, I forgot to mention that I had a nice chat with your in-laws and told them about your extended family trips. Your mother-in-law and I really hit it off. She's liking the recipes I gave her for treats to bake as travel snacks to eat in your new car.
She and your father-in-law are really excited to travel together with you. Maybe you should see about a luggage rack for the roof of your new vehicle.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
