well, after a lot of thought, it looks like it's going to have to be a mini-van. I really liked what the crossovers have to offer, and love the EcoBoost engine on the Flex, and the SYNC system...

But it's ultimately coming down to basically one thing - power sliding doors (well, extra cargo room is nice, too). With twin babies, it's just way way way way way more practical. Having the doors open for you while carrying two babies (probably in child carriers) is just too important.

So the frontrunners are the Toyota Sienna (just got an updated look) and the Honda Odyssey (due for a new look in September). So I will be tabling this until the new odyssey comes out. It actually looks kind of cool for a minivan.
