(June 7, 2018) SANTA MONICA, Calif.  — Following a three-year period of relative stability, gas prices reached their highest point in four years in May, with a gallon costing motorists an average of $2.90. According to a new trend report released by Edmunds, car shoppers aren't letting these rising costs deter them from buying the cars they want — notably, trucks and SUVs.

"On the surface it may seem as though rising gas prices could be the catalyst to flip the market from SUVs back to passenger cars, like we saw in 2008," said Jeremy Acevedo, Edmunds manager of industry analysis.

(June 6, 2018) NEW YORK — Parents magazine and the car shoppers from Edmunds have revealed their 2018 list of the 10 Best Family Cars, a resource for families considering a new car purchase. For the 11th consecutive year, the parenting and car experts from both organizations partnered to evaluate more than 300 vehicles, narrowing down the list to the 10 models that offer the best value, safety features, driving performance, and family-friendly elements on the road.

(June 4, 2018) SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Auto loan interest rates are expected to hit record highs not seen since 2009, according to Edmunds. The annual percentage rate (APR) on new financed vehicles averaged 5.75 percent in May, compared to 5.04 percent in May 2017 and 4.17 percent in May 2013.

While it may seem counterintuitive, Edmunds analysts say this spike in auto loan interest rates is having a positive influence on the automotive market — at least for now.
