Range Rover is the current status car for suburban moms in my area, preferably in white.

Op has a point -- if she wants to be friends with the moms as superficial as she is, she needs to be careful to signal affluence without outdoing the other moms and generating jealousy.

So, all fine choices in view of her priorities.

She has 4 kids. You need a minivan with 4. Not with 2.


Mercedes makes a minivan. But some people (smart ones) value function over "status cars."

OP, you should scan the lot at your Club to gauge where the crowd leans. Not sure DCUM will give you the right gauge of status as much as fellow Club members. You are in a Club, right?

Thank you. I've heard the 350 now has a third row. Wasn't on my radar before.

We can't walk to much in the suburbs. I had the Vista, but now I am looking for my next car to carpool kids around in.

What? Are you basing your decision on what the unwashed masses are driving OP? Really? Go for a test drive and see what works for your family. And please, no more behemoth Suburban, Yukon, Denali, Tahoe, Cadillac SUV - they are sheer atrocities.

I like the compactness and zippiness of my 6-seater Mazda 5, and used to recommend it, but can't anymore - it hasn't aged as I thought a Japanese car should age.

My next car will be a boring Toyota or Honda. By then I might not actually need a "mom" car, though...
