AutoPacific’s Ideal Vehicle Awards of 2007

I was actually looking for a new car before the summer ends but it seems like I am having a difficult time choosing between a small car and a large vehicle. I always wanted to have a small SUV I can drive everyday, driving my kids to their school or traveling daily to the office. I visited Autopacific.com to know what car brand has it all for me. I was surprised to see this list on their website.
