New and Redesigned Premium Vehicles Garner Five Awards
LINCOLNWOOD, IL. November 12, 2014 – Consumer Guide® Automotive, the leading publisher of authoritative, unbiased new- and used-car reviews for more than 45 years, today announced the recipients of its 2015 Best Buy Awards. A Consumer Guide Best Buy represents the finest balance of attributes and value in its class. For 2015, just 39 Best Buys have been awarded in 20 classes, providing clear, easy choices for consumers.
New and redesigned vehicles on the 2015 Consumer Guide Best Buy List include: Acura TLX, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Colorado, Chrysler 200, GMC Canyon, Honda Fit, Hyundai Genesis, Kia K900, Lincoln MKC, and Volkswagen GTI.
“We’re always pleasantly surprised when a new car or truck impresses us enough to enter the Best Buy discussion. This year a number of new and redesigned vehicles rose to the top,” said Tom Appel, who led the editors’ selection for this year’s list.
Once again, Toyota’s complete lineup of Prius models wins the Editors’ Choice Best Buy Award, which recognizes them as overall leaders in value, efficiency, utility, and comfort.
Notes Appel, “When new products rise to the top, consumers win. This year’s impressive crop of new products will put pressure on manufacturers to improve existing product more quickly than ever.”

Since 1967, Consumer Guide Automotive’s award-winning editorial team has used a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process to identify the vehicles worthy of serious consideration by a consumer. The editors utilize objective criteria, such as price, features, performance, accommodations, fuel economy, reliability records, and resale value, to assess each vehicle.
The key to Consumer Guide Automotive’s annual Best Buy Awards is the careful evaluation of every aspect of each vehicle as it relates to consumers’ real-world driving experience. It is this thoroughness that brings consumers to check Consumer Guide Automotive reviews before buying a new vehicle.
Consumer Guide’s editorial team drives more than 100,000 miles every year evaluating what these vehicles do well–and what they don’t. Whether it is driving through the city, on highways, in rural areas, on long trips, or simply picking up the kids at school, these vehicles are tested in the same way that typical car buyers would use their vehicles.
Complete reviews of the winning vehicles as well as other pertinent information for in-market car buyers can be found at ConsumerGuide.com.
