IntelliChoice.com Announces Best New Car Deals of the Month for
January 2008
- Last Ranking for Model-Year 2007 Vehicles; Chevy and Toyota
Continue Battle in Truck Segment -
CAMPBELL, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) January 11, 2008 --
IntelliChoice.com (www.intellichoice.com),
the leading source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis,
today announced its “Best
Deals of the Month” for cars, trucks, and
SUVs for January, the last ranking before IntelliChoice.com begins
tracking 2008 model-year vehicles in February.
“IntelliChoice.com’s
Best Deals of the Month, for the most part, held steady throughout 2007,”
said James Bell, publisher and editor of IntelliChoice.com. “The
Toyota Prius and various versions of the Honda Civic, along with the
Chevy Corvette and the Ford Escape Hybrid, never lost their high-value
ranking over the last year. In the latter half of 2007, they were joined
by several newcomers, including the Audi A4, the BMW 3-Series, the
Toyota Tundra and even the Hummer H3. It will be very interesting to see
which ones can maintain their top value rankings for the 2008 model year.”
Bell also stands firmly behind his prediction that hybrids and other “green”
vehicles will continue to gain in popularity. “In
2008, we will see the arrival of vehicles the public may not have
expected to see in hybrid form, like the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac
Escalade. That plays into one of the big themes we see this year: buying
a hybrid doesn’t necessarily mean buying a
compact or small-size car.”
IntelliChoice.com’s “Best
Deals of the Month” identify new
cars, trucks,
and SUV’s
with the best ownership cost value in 33 respective classes. Selections
are based on current car
pricing, market conditions and the lowest national manufacturer
consumer new car rebate. In addition, IntelliChoice.com uses the latest
information from numerous automotive resources to evaluate what it costs
to buy, own and operate each new model-year trim line over a five-year
basis.
The following “Best Deals”
for January 2008 are ranked by vehicle type and size.
IntelliChoice.com Helps Consumers Do
Their Homework
IntelliChoice.com updates vehicle data several times a month in order to
capture the many expiring car
rebates and ongoing incentive programs offered by manufacturers—giving
consumers the most up-to-date analysis.
IntelliChoice.com’s “Best
Deals” designation enables consumers to
identify how car rebates affect a vehicle’s
value throughout ownership and not just at the time of purchase.
Ownership costs can vary significantly among different trim lines of the
same model. Additionally, IntelliChoice.com continuously updates fuel
costs based on the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Vehicles designated as “IntelliChoice.com
Best Deals of the Month” are typically cars
and trucks that have good to great ownership cost values before any
manufacturer rebate. A rebate can often turn a good ownership cost value
into a great value, and a great value into an “IntelliChoice.com
Best Deal of the Month.”
