"I don't want a van. Everyone will think I'm a soccer mom!" - Every soccer mom in a jellybean crossover.
My wife is the same, is vehemently against driving a van, yet would be more than ok with driving the generic crossover that has replaced the van as the mom-mobile. Atleast she still thinks wagons are cool.
Having said that, I'm not really sure what the big deal is with driving a mom-mobile. Being a good mom is awesome. It may not be cool, but just like being a dad, you'll never be cool. No matter what you drive, nobody will mistake you for a 20 year old supermodel when you have 2 kids and all 5 bags of their crap draped all over you. Just embrace reality and make your life easier.
