A number of the vehicles on these lists are quite familiar. We've included links to reviews where we have them and marked our Editors' Choice winners with asterisks, but a few of the contenders (notably the Suzuki Kizashi and the Acura ZDX) are not yet readily available to the automotive press or the buying public, which strikes us as odd.
