All aboard! Top 10 family rides

Vehicle valuation expert Kelley Blue Book gives CNNMoney.com a first look at its picks for the best new family vehicles.

Ford Taurus X
Ford Taurus X
The Taurus X is a tall wagon version of Ford's nicely upgraded and sadly underrated Taurus sedan. In addition to a roomy third row of seats, the Taurus X has a more SUV-like interior than its sedan sibling.

The Taurus X's roof rises toward the back because each row of seats is higher than the row ahead to give everyone a good view. The stepped roofline gives everyone plenty of headroom, too.

Kelley Blue Book also notes that the Taurus X is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety "Top Safety Pick."
