Edmunds: The 17 Best Cars You Can Buy
DETROIT (WWJ) - Some cars offer great value while others excel in particular features such as cargo space or in-cabin technology. But which cars are quite simply the best?
Edmunds, an online resource for automotive information, is offering its subjective opinion for the top dog in each vehicle segment with their list of "The 17 Best Cars You Can Buy."
"This list answers a question that we get all the time: If you could pick any car in a given segment, and money wasn't an issue, what car would you choose?" James Riswick, Edmunds' automotive editor, said in a statement. "Sure, many of the cars on this list cost a pretty penny, but guess what? It usually costs more to get the best."
A total of 14 brands appear on the list, led by Toyota with three vehicles and Honda with two.
