CONGRATULATIONS MIKE !!!!!!! So happy for you bother. This is the most rewarding thing you can do in life. It gives life more meaning , purpose, and direction........and great excuse to car shop . lol
When we had our second we ended up changing out both cars. I ditched my GS350 for an LS460 and we ditched the wifes Murano LE for a Sienna Limited. I wish you the best buddy.

Congrats LEXFATHER!! Great news! Currently have a 22 month old myslef. I have found getting the Munchkin in and out of the LS is much easier than the GS, even thought the GS has ample room, it's the door sloped window frame that's the issue. However since my daughter is big enough to sit foward now, it is much easier to reach her and the contents in the backseat of the GS than it is the LS, so we have to trade one convenience for an inconvenience either way 
When the kid is able to crawl in \ out by themselves small back seat is fine, if you're messing with a removable baby seat etc, funk dat in the brz!
Many will disagree but take a look at the new Escalade with the middle buckets. It allows you to have someone, say your mother inlaw in the third row yet able to pass between the two buckets to check on the kids, give them snacks etc etc

Thanks dude.
It's been checked out, the 7 seat option is $2500, you can get red leather two different ways and a black headliner instead of gray. Rear seat room isn't great and the 3rd row is tiny. But it looks so beautiful inside and out.
Congratulations to both you and your wife with Junior on the way. 
Cars come and go, even those custom-made for us or the ones we like best, but you will be a father for the rest of your life.

BTW.... like the poster just above, at first, I would probably have guessed a Chevy SS (I know how much you liked the very similar Pontiac G8 GT). But you said you wanted a red interior....the SS only comes with black leather.

I am a big fan of the previous X5 styling, the new one has yet to grow on me. The Cayenne is of course amazing but pricey fast and there is no way I would get the V-6.

definitely need SUV so it is easy to load stroller... back space for kids isnt a big deal, make sure you buy isofix baby seats tho, it is much easier and better for kids.
so loading and unloading stroller is certainly biggest task your "family" car will have for first few years.

Its not just getting the stroller in and out, but you have that in the back, plus other stuff needed for the baby then if you want to go shopping your low on space because you have the stroller etc taking up space........
you never have enough space

With kids you find out no vehicle is big enough, so I error on the larger side.

I drove LC200 for a while, and yeah, that was cavernous trunk. I lost kids bike in there once, barely found it!
