NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - High gas prices won't deter an estimated 30.9 million travelers embarking on summer road trips, according to AAA. And it hasn't stopped Americans from favoring SUVs as their road trip ride of choice.

Nearly 6,000 new car buyers chose which vehicle they would most like to drive on a summer road trip from among a list of 10 new models chosen by the editors of Kelley Blue Book as "Great Road Trip Cars."

The most popular choices among those surveyed were large sport utility vehicles.

SUVs garnered the top two spots on the list -- and a large chunk of the vote -- with the Chevrolet Tahoe capturing 21.5 percent and the Lincoln Navigator close behind with in 21.4 percent.

"When most people are traveling, they are thinking about trips with their families and the larger SUVs have the most room for people and their belongings," said Charlie Vogelheim, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book.

Luxury sedans grabbed the next two spots. The Lexus LS430 won 16.7 percent of the vote while the Mercedes E-Class earned 8.2 percent.

The Dodge Magnum, DaimlerChrysler's muscular-looking station wagon with an available 340 horsepower Hemi V8 engine, rounded out the top five.
