The E55 for sure. However, part of that decision is based on the fact that mine is a POS. If it were problem free, the decision would be a lot tougher. The Yukon still gets the nod due to it's ability to haul things you'd never put in the 55 (including baby puke), and the fact that it's a 4X4. An E55 is a great daily driver, but isn't much of a tow vehicle or off roader.

You'll also be able to fit all the baby crap in the trunk. My sister in law has twins and has a Caddy STS. As soon as she got pregnant, right away she had to have the biggest, most expensive SUV she could find (but that's just the way she is). She still has the Caddy 3 years later and has no problems transporting the kids and their stuff.

congrats again!
I agree 100%. This is why I have an E55 and not a 911 TT.

You don't need an SUV until you have 3 kids.

E55 Rocket, keep the car! I can fit two back there w/o a problem!

It's easy;

When my first kid was on the way I got a C43 saloon.

Now my second is on the way I have chopped it in for a C43 wagon

Job done
