Forbes.com Best Car Deals 2006

Forbes.com’s article and accompanying slide show is a guide to new-model cars currently carrying the deepest discounts. The cars that come with the biggest cash rebates and best financing rates. Auto dealers have a few ways of offering discounts. There are cash rebates, which can be applied to the cost of the car (and are frequently used for down payments) or simply received in cash. Special financing rates–below-market interest rates–reduce borrowing costs. Buyers are sometimes given a choice between a cash rebate and a financing deal, or may be offered both. Dealer incentives are payments manufacturers give to dealers (rather than to customers); the dealers decide how much of that to share with buyers.

Car & Driver’s 10 Best Cars of 2006

The magazine’s editors nominated and then tested more than 50 vehicles on a road course consisting of twists and turns on less-than-perfect pavement. Each car was judged based on value, how well it performed in its respective category, and whether it exhibited standout qualities such as striking looks or a powerful engine.

Domestic brands took top honors in three of the ten categories for 2006, all of which are repeat winners. The Chrysler 300 kept its title as Best Full-Size Sedan. Ford’s Mustang GT remains a hot commodity and was named Best Muscle Car once again, while the sixth-generation Chevrolet Corvette is still Car and Driver’s Best Performance Car.

Three European models made the grade for the 2006 10Best list, including the BMW 3-Series which has been on the 10Best list for 15 straight years–this year as Best Luxury Sports Sedan. Other European models include the new Audi A3 2.0T as Best Sport Compact and the Porsche Boxster as Best Luxury Sports Car.
