Thank you all for the replies some good things to consider. The only concern I have is space in the rear of the Lexus. I guess my wife and I will just have to go test drive one together and take turns sitting in the back seat. I for sure do not want something unreliable. That is the other big issue to me. Thanks for all the unbiased replies!

 

Wagons are great for diaper changing

 

I think that IS rear seating is a bit cramped. AWD is nice, but in a lexus? Haven't heard much about that reliability, but the Quattro drivetrain is super solid.

 

The A6 wagons are good for carrying extra kids in the back!

 

That's what the Routan is for.
