Lexusfreak Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 January 5, 2005 Consumer Guide names 2005 "Best Buy and Recommended Picks" Vancouver, British Columbia - The U.S. automotive publication, Consumer Guide, has named its annual "Best Buys and Recommended picks" in 17 distinct vehicle classes. The magazine's Best Buys and Recommended picks focus on overall vehicle value and take into account performance, economy, reliability, ease of use, comfort, and price. The top overall vehicles in their respective model categories are designated "Best Buys". Models labelled "Recommended" also merit serious consideration as great values, but may fall short of the class leaders in value or may appeal to a slightly narrower audience. There may be more than one Best Buy or Recommended pick per model vehicle category.
