U.S. News & World Report Identifies the 6 Best Cars to Buy Now

DESC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2018 - U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today unveiled December's list of the Best Cars to Buy Now. To make U.S. News' monthly list, a car must meet three criteria: declining sales, strong manufacturer incentives and excellent scores in the U.S. News Best Cars rankings.

"The shift in consumer interest from cars to SUVs and crossovers means that there are some very good deals on excellent cars," says Jamie Page Deaton, executive editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "Interest rates are expected to rise in 2019, so you should act now to compound your savings on a new car."

This month, U.S. News Best Cars has identified six cars and SUVs that not only offer hefty savings but are also a pleasure to own.

Since 2007, U.S. News Best Cars, the automotive channel of U.S. News & World Report, has published rankings of the majority of new vehicles sold in America.
