“We decided to kick it up a notch this year with our annual kbb.com Top 10 Road Trip Cars list, identifying many of the most interesting summer festivals, events and gatherings from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and then brainstorming the best car for each trip,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. “Since our editorial staff has collectively driven nearly every vehicle available on the U.S. market, we had fun narrowing down the choices and deciding which ride best corresponded to each destination. The resulting list is comprehensive in its variety and appeal, offering 10 great choices for motorists of various generations and interests who want to hit the open road this summer.”
