IntelliChoice.com's Best Deals For August Shows Rebates Across All Classes of Vehicles

CAMPBELL, CA (August 20, 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 August for all cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles. The monthly ranking reveals the ongoing impact of new car rebates and possible buying opportunities in vehicle classes that offer the best ones.

"Despite the recent dip in gas prices, significant auto rebates still exist on many larger vehicles. The Nissan Armada beat the Toyota Land Cruiser on the strength of a $5,000 rebate, and the Nissan Quest's $3,500 rebate makes it top in the minivan class," said James Bell, publisher and editor of IntelliChoice.com. "An interesting fact is Nissan has quietly mentioned that the Armada may not continue production after early 2010. That is an indication of the new reality of this market and it's impact on small cars."

Bell also noted that IntelliChoice.com's list of Best Deals for August shows opportunities across all classes of vehicles. "Lots of families are looking to make the switch to small cars, and it's noteworthy that the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Yaris, two of the top smallest cars in our ranking and highly respected, both carry rebates. That demonstrates once again how important it is for buyers to do their homework. You never know where the deals might be, especially in this buyer's market."

The Chevrolet Silverado, meanwhile, continues to do well in the Full-Size pickup truck classes, sweeping all six categories. "The Chevy Silverado has been a solid presence on the Best Deals' lists for months," said Bell. "However, we expect to see the close outs of the 2008 Dodge Ram and 2008 Ford F150 impact these classes as their all-new 2009 models roll into the market later this year."

IntelliChoice.com's "Best Deals of the Month" identify new cars, trucks, and SUVs 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.

IntelliChoice.com Helps Consumers Do Their Homework

IntelliChoice.com updates vehicle data several times a month in order to capture the many expiring auto rebates and ongoing incentive programs offered by manufacturers--giving consumers the most up-to-date analysis on which vehicles offer them the best value for their money.

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."
