<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><small>Edmunds' Top 10 'Dark-Horse' cars - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
We all know the typical sales winners of the automotive universe. Come hell or high water, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/civic">Honda Civics</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camry">Toyota Camrys</a> will still float off of the lot. Granted, that's good news for most automakers, but at the same time, there's a wealth of under-appreciated models languishing under the beady eyes of inflatable gorillas across the country. The good people of Edmunds have taken it upon themselves to wrangle up a top 10 list of those long forgotten winners and filed them under the collective banner of "Dark-Horse" candidates. Sexy.<br />
<br />
We're absolutely down with cars like the 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lacrosse">Buick Lacrosse</a>, 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/kizashi">Suzuki Kizashi</a> and the 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/genesis+sedan">Hyundai Genesis</a>, but the 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/versa">Nissan Versa</a> has us scratching our heads. While the car is a perfectly decent little compact, the market is awash with other excellent options. Need proof? Look no further than another Edmunds Dark-Horse selection, the 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta">Ford Fiesta</a>. We suppose that with all the hype surrounding the new Blue Oval hatchback that it can't as easily be considered a forgotten option, at least at this point. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/16/edmunds-compiles-top-ten-dark-horse-list-of-worthy-overlooked/#continued">Hop the jump</a> for the full press blast and check the gallery below for the top picks.<br />
