We just bought a brand new Ford Flex on Sunday. We love it! Seats 7, gets 23mpg, enough horsies to make me use both hands on the steering wheel, tows 5000lbs and they are 6-15K off of MSRP right now, due to new model 2015 coming out next year sometime. We got ours for 26K out the door. It is unique enough to meet my demands, but of course, we still have the VX and the sitting in the driveway as well. Kind of wanted a van, but they just don't have the tow capacity. With the flex,I can tow the VX if I had to to get her home.

Think of it this way, it is just a temporary thing.....in a couple of years, the kid, or kids will be able to climb quickly into whatever it is you own...(vx). for what you are considering spending on another suv, you could have a new engine in the vx, and also a quality van with all the goodies and good times that it can hold!
