IRVINE, Calif., June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- What is more quintessentially American than a summertime road trip? The words conjure up images of exciting possibilities, new friends, memorable experiences, perhaps even a taste of romance. The expert editors Kelley Blue Book www.kbb.com, the only vehicle valuation and information source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the automotive industry, recently named the 10 Best Road Trip Cars of 2015. Whether your idea of a road trip is a quick jaunt to a nearby weekend getaway or a raucous blast across a continent, there is a vehicle on this list for you.

"The KBB.com editors have endorsed the vehicles on the list to be road-trip worthy, not because they are basically the same candy bars in different wrappers, but because each is the proper tool for a specific kind of trip," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. "You probably wouldn't love the F-150 on California's Highway 1, and the Mazda MX-5 wouldn't be a great choice for your next camping vacation. Matched with the right kind of road trip, however, each of these vehicles will more than fulfill your latent lust for the open highway."
