The most car-like SUV?

Help! My bride, seduced by fashion, wants me to buy a Silly Ungainly Van, or SUV. Given that the hatch/wagon equivalents seem mostly roomier, comfier, safer and nicer to drive, what small-to-medium model can I buy which might kid her that I've given in to her fad-driven desire – without actually doing so?

Without wanting to get involved in a family feud, the best choice is the Subaru Forester. It rides a bit higher like an SUV but is a classy family wagon. It gets The Tick from me and remind her that it's the safest in the class.
