As a European who does not see the point of buying an SUV just because there is one kid on the way - I mean, putting a ski box on a tall car is a nightmare - I suggest a bigger wagon or a family van.
Lived with an E91 for 9 years, loved the car, it's alright for a smaller family but indeed gets a bit cramped going on ski trips in four, etc. I think the S212 E-class is a very good suggestion. Trunk is way bigger in that one and taller as well due to roof that does not slope down unlike "lifestyle" wagons. Great cruiser.
Also know first-hand how boxy things like the Metris (Vito or the lux version V-class stateside or the Euro-only VW vans) are actually THE BEST family haulers ever. If you want to carry four to five people, even adults, all their bicycles, luggage and food all under one roof, this is your number one choice.
Just depends how much household you carry on holidays. I grew up in a small hatchback!
