(May 21, 2014) IRVINE, Calif. — Holiday weekends like the upcoming Memorial Day weekend are a great time to get a deal on a new car, so the experts from Kelley Blue Book kbb.com have assembled their list of the 10 best lease and cash back deals available this month from a variety of auto manufacturers.

"The remainder of May and especially the holiday weekend should be a great time to snag a new-car deal, so our editors culled through the available offers and chose what we thought were the 10 best for this month," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book.  

"From electric cars, pickup trucks, luxury makes, three-row vehicles, coupes, sedans and small cars, there is a new-car deal option on this list for just about everyone.  As dealers start to make way for the 2015 models to hit their lots, new-car shoppers have the opportunity to save a bundle on many popular new 2014 model-year vehicles plus a golden oldie from 2013."
