We've got a Chevy Equinox and are quite happy with it. The back seat is adjustable so you can keep the kids closer to the front when they're in car seats, and slide it back when they're old enough to think kicking the front seats is a blast. Fair amount of room in the back hatch as well. With a Thule rack you could comfortably haul a dog, 3 kids, and luggage.
For a larger option, the Traverse is nice too. It has 7th row seating, and doesn't quite look like a minivan. We test drove one and liked it, but we didn't need anything that big.
I think they've got about $7000 cash back right now with the olympics, which makes them both very price competitive too.
