Only thing I can come up with is a Renault Avantime or possibly a VXR Zafira if your idea of cool is slightly quicker than average.
Are these things just function over style?

LWB Defender County.

3 people up-front
3 in the middle (worse seats)
4 in the back (inward facing)

= 10 seats.

Zee Zafira Gsi Turbo is good fun, genuinely quick in a straight line, plenty of grip, it will give a bmw 330 a hard time mid range up through the gears, very nice recaro seats. The only down side is they eat turbo's I've changed turbos on the majority of the ones i've had, 60,000 miles seems to be about the time they start smoking.

The Avantime is many things, but a people carrier it is not...it's only got 4 seats for a start.

How many seats do you need (and does it have to be an mpv)? I'd have an E Class estate if I needed more room.

That is one way of arriving at an accident very quickly !

Not exactly commonplace though and parking could prove challenging.

The first thing I thought of too. It doesn't have to be quick to be cool.

It's not cool though - it even has the stereotypical serial killer/rapist owner driving it in the photo. That's the look of a man who has a secret cellar under his house and an inbred family hidden inside it, make no mistake; in fact he was probably off out to B&Q to pick up some more sound proofing for his little dungeon when that very photo was taken.

Ford S-Max with the 2.5T engine?

Wouldn't say it was cool, but I've looked up close at one it didn't seem too shabby.
