U.S. News & World Report Announces the Best New Car Deals in December

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today unveiled December's list of the Best New Car Deals. This month's list includes eight vehicles with strong scores in the U.S. News Best Car Rankings and excellent financing or cash back incentives. U.S. News also provides December's best lease deals and best used car deals.

"Year-end incentives are really heating up," says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "The most aggressive discounts are on outgoing 2017 models, which in many cases are virtually identical to the incoming 2018 models. Automakers are even offering deals on dream cars like the Ford Mustang and Mazda Miata, which rarely see discounts."
