The Large Family Car...Find the Perfect One?

Recently here in my household we are on a mission.  We want to find the perfect large family vehicle.  We currently have an 8 passenger Ford Expedition.  This fits all of my family (eight of us) very tightly. The kids are getting bigger, and if you have ever seen the third row seat in the Expy, it is not made for normal sized people. 

We are currently looking for a 12 passenger vehicle.  This should give plenty of room for all of the kids and all the things that we need to bring along for them on the weekend adventures we like to take.  I was all for a brand new Mercedes Sprinter Van, but my lovely wife brought me back to reality one we saw the price.  The advantage of the Sprinter is the space, style, and extremely efficient diesel engine.

Since the Sprinter has been eliminated due to price, we need to look at others.  We are currently looking for used 12 passenger vans.  Most all of these are nice, but they mostly have V8 gasoline engines that are extremely efficient with today's gas prices.  Here are some other 12 passenger vans we have been looking at:
