Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. This month, I’d like to write about family drivers like you and some of the innovative options that the Toyota line gives you in terms of safe, efficient and (dare I say) stylish driving. I’m referring, of course, to the 2013 Toyota Avalon and the 2013 Toyota Prius v, which were both recently named to the list of top 10 Best Family Cars by Kelley Blue Book. Let’s take a deeper look at what all the noise is about.

A quick look at either of these models will tell you a lot about their emphasis on the ever-changing dynamics of family living. Here is a brief overview of some of the key features that have earned spots for both vehicles on the Kelley Blue Book 10 best list:
