If you're driving somewhere for Memorial Day, or any other part of this summer, you know that what happens in the vehicle can be as important as what happens when you reach your destination.

So the editors at Kelley Blue Book decided to try to find out what the best vehicle is for a road trip.

They picked 10 new vehicles for a summer road trip and asked nearly 6,000 new car buyers which they would most like to take a road trip in.

Twenty-two percent of the people in the survey picked the Chevy Tahoe, while 21 percent picked the Lincoln Navigator.

The rest of the top 10:
  • Lexus LS430, 17 percent
  • Mercedes E-Class, 11 percent
  • Dodge Magnum, 8 percent
  • Toyota Sienna, 6 percent
  • Volkswagen Jetta TDI wagon, 5 percent
  • Hyundai XG350L, 4 percent
  • Subaru Outback, 4 percent
  • Mazda 3 5-door, 3 percent

The Kelley editors noted that despite high gas prices, large SUVs were the favorite choices.

To be included in the voting, the vehicles had to be priced under $75,000 and carry at least four passengers.
