Car & Driver's 2010 Best Bets

The list is actually long and repetitive for some reason--why have a luxury section if you're going to rename them under the Luxury Sedan and Sporty subsections anyway?

I was interested in the compact/small SUV, and was a little disappointed--though the Subaru Forester still made the cut. I was actually a little puzzled at their "everyday" type vehicle recommendations--Ford Transit Connect? Really? I don't even know what that is. Why not the Honda Odyssey? Everyone's got one, right? Either that or the Toyota Sienna.

I wished they'd had a fuel sipper for each category vs. just the initial Budget/Green section--we're just not there yet I guess.

Here's the link to Car and Driver's 2010 Editors Choice Awards.
