Here is the website with pictures and photos. It should be coming out this fall and should sit 8.
To be honest the 3rd backseat still looks crowded and the 8th seat looks like a half seat like their current design. I've decided minivans work great for toddlers and families with only 3 kids. I've turned into an official family car snob. I like everyone to be able to have some room for the drive across town to my sister's house and the long hours of driving for family vacations.
I've never wanted to drive a beast suburban around town, but slowly, I'm beginning to think it may be the way to go. We do go up to the mtns. several times all year and tow a boat.
Should we drive the Ford Passenger Van around town?
What are your thoughts? For families with 4+ kids, what is a good family car?
Comment if you like or participate in my survey on my side bar.
I haven't ruled out the minivan yet. Sliding doors, standing room (I'm super short), and the cargo space are fantastic, and they do get better gas mileage.

I never wanted to drive a minivan but I have to say that for us the only reason to have a suburban would be to look cool. Maybe my kids are more wimpy than others but they would have a hard time opening the doors to a big suv. For now even with five kids we fit fine in the minivan. (yes there are some complaints from the three in the back but not too much.) When the kids get older we might switch to a Suburban but for now the minivan is great.
I had a suburban, switched to a minivan, and now I'm back in a yukon/suburban (same car) and have had that one for the last 4 years. If I were going to buy a new car today, I would buy the exact same one. It has its faults, to be sure, but there is no other car that gives me that much room for family vacations, can tow the scout troop plus trailer to scout camp, and I can actually park it. My biggest worry is that the kids will open the door into the car next to us, so I always say, BE CAREFUL GETTING OUT!
