Alright, don't leave me hanging -- which Volkswagen?

The Sharan fits seven persons (possibly seven adults, but the two back seats could be a bit tight for some), and is wide enough in the middle row for three kids in kids' seats.

It still looks and handles like a normal car rather than a bus.

Either the Sharan or a Caravelle? The Caravelle seems to be a favourite with big families in Europe

edit: but neither are sedans

My guess would be the Passat.

My family had a VW Passat in the late 80's, lots of fond memories.

I'll even give a pass to the neighborhood kids who stole the VW badge (yay Beastie Boys!) ....... You know you're out there ... you might now be the CFO for a mid-size logistics company specializing in a modern, flexible forward-thinking unrivaled logistics service but back then my dad was NOT happy that morning when he discovered the badge was missing.
