I have an 05 Yukon Denali and my wife loves it! Fully loaded 3rd row seats have 3 kids lowered on 24s rear air ride so when I tow I can raise the airbags.....but my wife wants to trade it in for an Acadia Denali, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I wouldn't get a mini van unless I was 50+ years old hahaha

Acadia Denali's go for $50k. Can't really negotiate much but we got $10k for our trade in so it was like $40k.
To the OP, I've seen the features on mini vans and think they're better than suv's but I ain't ready to rock the exterior yet lol.

It's the Acadia Denali version. Look it up. Comes 7 or 8 seater. We went with the 7 seater cuz the 2nd row captain chairs are pimp. Plus you don't have to fold down anything for passengers to get to the 3rd row. The 3rd row is actually more comfortable for adults than the full size yukons/Tahoe/escalades.

No, I never will to a minivan. Especially after seeing a bunch of grown men riding around in them I can't help but feel bad for them.

Don't need you to feel bad for me. In fact, if you seriously think your ego would take a hit by driving a minivan, then I feel bad for you and your low self esteem. I'm glad to say I'm above that and had zero reservations about buying my Sienna SE. When my kids get older and can get in and out by themselves, I may eventually get an SUV so I can at least tow something. But, with an infant and two toddlers, a minivan is the only practical choice for day to day use.

Get an Acura MDX fits 7, AWD and can get a nice one for $25k or less. Look for a 2008/2009.

That's the one I like, the Sport, if I ever get a mini van again
