Talking Not a Mini ... van

The challenge is that I would rather not drive a mini van or something that gets 10mpg as my daily driver. I have looked at all of the large SUVs, minivans and other cars like the Ford Freestyle, Cadillac SRX, MB r 350, etc and have not found anything I really want to drive that have enough bag room, gets ok mileage and doesn't remove all of the fun of driving.

So as I started looking I wondered to myself what other lake commuters do and how they get their groups back and forth to the lake. So, all that said, if you carry 6+ people to the lake, how do you do it and do you like it?
So here's something that will seat 6, have enough bag room and might still be fun to drive. Not sure about the 3'rd row and it's only my guess that it'll better 10 MPG. I have the smaller version myself, only seats 4 (in a pinch).
