Best new car deals - December
Looking for a new car? Check out our “Best new car deals” section, where w
e maintain a list of Consumer Reports-Recommended vehicles that are currently available at significant savings. The current roster includes 2009 and 2008 models ranging from the Acura MDX to the Volvo XC90. Many of these deals are good through January, and we update the list as new deals become available.
This month, our highlighted best new car deal is the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT. Redesigned in 2008, the Malibu is now competitive with the better family sedans we’ve tested. It has a well-detailed interior and good safety ratings. It almost matches the Honda Accord for agility and the Toyota Camry for quietness. In fact, in the November issue of Consumer Reports, we chose the Chevy Malibu as one of the Top 100 products we tested this year. It was featured in our latest road test group, family sedans.
All models featured in our Best New Car Deals section cite total available incentives. The Bottom Line Price breaks down the possible deals, spelling out the available customer rebates, as well as the hidden direct-to-dealer incentives and dealer holdback. Armed with this information, you will be prepared to negotiate a great deal on your next car.
