Since 1986, IntelliChoice has been committed to empowering and educating consumers to make better automotive purchasing decisions. Our mission is to be the preferred resource for assiting readers to successfully reach their goals with essential automotive information and tools for vehicle buyers, sellers and owners.
For 15 years, IntelliChoice published two award winning annuals: The Complete Car Cost Guide (TM) and The Complete Small Truck Cost Guide(TM). Since their introduction in early 1987, the national media, automobile industry, and consumer organizations have recognized and embraced the value and uniqueness of IntelliChoice’s automotive analysis. And today, we conveniently make the very latest annual information accessible to all through our website: www.IntelliChoice.com.
IntelliChoice is part of the Motor Trend Automotive Group, a division of Source Interlink Media. Our sister automotive websites include MotorTrend.com, AutomobileMag.com, TruckTrend.com, and Automotive.com. Our parent company Source Interlink (www.sourceinterlink.com) is one of the largest publishers of magazines and online content for enthusiast audiences, and a leading distributor of magazines in the United States through Source Interlink Distribution.
IntelliChoice has also played an active role in the industry by presenting the annual “Best Overall Value of the Year” (BOVY) awards. Our analysis contributes to the only data-driven awards focused solely on recognizing vehicles that cost significantly less to own over time than other vehicles in teir class. This insightful data factors in the accumulated expenses associated with seven ownership cost areas including repairs, insurance and depreciation that help consumers to indentify the best values for thir driving needs.
IntelliChoice’s Cost Of Ownership accolades have become an increasingly important component of a new car buyer’s consideration as well as grabbing the attention of automobile manufacturers and marketing media. The use of the “BOVY” award and logo has become a common marketing practice among the OEMs selected to receive such a distinctive award for their high value vehicles.
Since 1999, we have also focused our statistical and analytical experience on the Certified Pre-Owned industry and have awarded the best Luxury and Non-Luxury CPO programs based on the consumer’s ultimate pecase of mind. In 2006, Intellichoice teamed up with AutoPacific to recognize the vehicles on the market best suited to reward a drivers emotions as well as their sense of economics with the unique and exciting Motorist Choice Awards.
Through these strong projects and commitments, IntelliChoice is one of the most respected automotive information providers in the United States, and in 2011 we will be proudly celebrating our 25th anniversary of providing superior automotive information.
