KBB Ranks Camry First In Class
Kelly Blue Book (KBB) is the organization most dealers and many customers turn to for new car fair price estimates as well as used car valuations. Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com says that, "Compact and midsize sedans are among the most popular segments in the United States. This month consumers will be able to find red-hot deals on the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Cruze," He went on to say that, "As a new-model year nears, car shoppers will also discover great values in luxury cars, SUVs and pickups." The Camry is currently in its last year of the body style it has had for some time. It will be all-new for 2015, and Toyota seems intent on making the last of the 2014.5 models move fast.
