The Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards goes to The 2010 Nissan 370z Coupe. The Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards recognize automakers’ outstanding achievements in producing vehicles that best retain their value.
In selecting the latest version of Nissan’s iconic Z®, the editors from Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com stated : “Regularly compared to performance coupes and convertibles that would cost you an additional five figures, the Nissan 370Z can be considered a bargain to begin with, which can be an important part of the resale value equation. Redesigned for 2009, Nissan’s latest Z® is the most powerful, most fun, most desirable iteration yet. Whether for a coastal cruise or a day at the track, we’d be happy to take one – new or used.”

There’s a special edition named 40th Anniversary Edition will be available beginning in spring 2010. It includes unique red leather-appointed seats and red door panel inserts; 40th Anniversary seatback embroidery, floor mats, car cover and exterior badging; premium smoke finish wheels and red brake caliper finish; and an exclusive “40th Quartz” exterior paint color.

Chevrolet Malibu, Traverse and Tahoe Hybrid named 2009 Best New Family Vehicles
A family vehicle has the characteristics of safe, roomy, and affordable. The top ten family vehicles are evaluated on factors such as resale value, fuel efficiency, capability, kid-friendliness and this year fuel economy.
The Chevrolet Malibu is a fuel friendly family sedan. Not only does it offer class leading fuel economy but it also beat the Honda Accord in the 2008 Family Sedan Comparison Test.
Crossover vehicles continue to replace the traditional SUVs in driveways, but for families with big passenger/cargo/towing needs, the full-size SUV remains essential. The Tahoe Hybrid is as green as it gets in its category and has a towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds.
The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse is the biggest crossover on the road, yet it beats the fuel economy of many smaller three-row vehicles.

2008 Chevrolet Malibu Takes Top Spot in KBB.com Mid-Size Sedan Comparison Test
The editors of Kelly Blue Book’s http://www.kbb.com have recently conducted a mid-size value comparison test between six of the top new vehicles and the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu was declared the winner. The five other mid-size sedans included the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Ford Fusion. All of the vehicles were testing using a standard four-cylinder, automatic transmission model.
Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director said, “We were very impressed with all of the cars we tested, but our team found that the Chevy Malibu simply was the best all-around in its class. The others just don’t quite measure up to all the Malibu has to offer in terms of interior and exterior styling, performance, safety and overall value.”
