Edmunds 2010 Top 10 Family Vehicle List includes Odyssey and Crosstour

Every year Edmunds puts together a list of the Top 10 Family Vehicles, evaluating an ever-lengthening list of eligible vehicles on such factors as resale value, fuel efficiency, capability and kid-friendliness. The 2010 list features vehicles in a range of sizes and prices.

Included in the 2010 Top 10 Family Vehicles are the Honda Odyssey and the Honda Accord Crosstour. He is what Edmunds had to say about these winning Honda vehicles:

Odyssey.
We've always thought an Acura badge would look right at home on the sharply styled, thoroughly refined Honda Odyssey. The most premium-like minivan on the market was also our editors' top pick in a recent segment comparison test, thanks to its ability to package versatility and amenities in a vehicle that is both comfortable and involving to drive.

Accord Crosstour.
The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is everything we like about the Accord Sedan and more. It shares the same V6 engine, passenger room and overall styling with its sedan counterpart, but boasts almost twice the cargo capacity -- a big win for families -- thanks to its hatchback shape.

Bernardi Honda offers a full selection of the Honda Odyssey minivan and the Honda Accord Crosstour in all colors and body styles. Bernardi Honda is conveniently located at 960 Worcester Road in Natick, MA - just down the Route 9 East from the Natick Collection. For more infomation on these award winning family vehicles or on any of the other Honda cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVs, please call Bernardi Honda at 800-254-0013.
