U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today unveiled June’s list of the Best Cars to Buy Now.
“Auto sales were up in May, so some automakers will likely pull back on incentives, especially on popular models,” says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “Still, the Best Cars to Buy Now shows that it can pay to swim against the tide. Shoppers can use our list to find deals on quality cars and SUVs.”
This month, U.S. News Best Cars has identified eight cars and SUVs that not only offer hefty savings but are also a pleasure to own. Ford tops the rankings with a 9.4 out of a possible 10 points.
