Safe Cars for Family Road Trips

Summer is settling in nicely and autumn leaf-peeping season is just around the corner. It's the right time to think of safe family vehicles not only for toting the kids to school, but also for those classic road trip vacations.

MSN posted an article on Consumer Reports' top ten vehicles for family road trips. Fear not, hip parents! There are more than just family wagons and minivans. The list includes the likes of Lexus, Audi and Cadillac cars. These autos are state-of-the-art with curtain airbags, stability control, not to mention a slew of reliability testing, leg room for long trips and other features Consumer Reports deems ideal for comfort and safety while driving.

So hit the road for a weekend escape, ski vacation or family reunion. Don't forget the snacks for the kiddos!
