Another "which car should I get" thread

So I'm a new dad--baby is six months old. Wife and I are discussing how we're going to get us/baby/luggage/other crap to the shore for the summer vacation.

The two of us went last year and it was crammed--adding all the baby stuff is not going to work in the C-class.

So I'm thinking about getting a replacement. Here's my criteria:

Something fun to drive
Costs about the same as I could sell the C55 for (thinking low to mid 20's)
Roomier than the C.

So far I'm actually thinking about looking into a Magnum SRT 8...those things are crazy cheap.

So what are the other ideas?

Thx

I figured all of these would require trade plus cash, which I'd rather not do. Correct me if I'm wrong, though

Yeah, I was thinking we could just rent--still a possibility, I suppose
