Help me consider a new car?

We are thinking about getting a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. We currently own/love our 2001 Mazda Tribute, but have had a new baby and things are tight. Our plan is to seel my husbands current car,pay off Tribute, and buy van. I will list the pros and cons, if you have any other ideas or a suggestion one way or the other please answer.

Pros-more room,better travel ease/comfort

Vehicle has every feature we have wanted (dvd,remote start,heated leather seats,more room ..again)

New, up to date model

Possible financing of 0%for 36 mos,3.9% afterwards (not requested financing yet)but current offer better then reg bank

Cons: $35,000 notes appr $500, Current pay off for Tribute is $4000 w/notes @ $242.

Insurance will go up $100

We live in Germany-when we return we will have to ship van over ocean...again

Buying used is not an option for us unless we find someone who is here and trying to sell-we have been looking about three months now with no luck.Please help me in deciding.

Update:

Sorry, another con was the fact that current car does fits just us. There are times when it would be nice to have a friend for either us adults or kids' friends.

Update 2:

NOTICE!!!!If you are going to answer this question- please answer it. I am considering minvan- not asking what KIND of car to buy!!!!!!!!!!!

    The 2008 Dodge Caravan is an excellent choice. It got great safety ratings, tons of new features including ambient interior lighting and the swivel and go seats that have a fold up table. It also looks really cool. What other mini van has things like these? Here are the specs, pictures, options, and comparisons for the Caravan: http://www.dodge.com/en/2008/grand_caravan/
