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.

In the case of Dodge's Grand Caravan, it's the icing that really makes the cake. Available options include Swivel 'n Go seating in which the second-row seats turn to face the third row - with a card table mounted between the rows - and dual DVD screens for each back row. Each screen can even be tuned to something different, including any one of three kid-oriented Sirius satellite TV channels.

At night, an optional interior lighting package casts a cool nightclub glow throughout.

"The minivan remains the ultimate troop transport " says Kelley Blue Book. While crossovers may look cool and be great in the snow, nothing else offers the space and versatility of a van.
