<\/p>\nThis week, The Car Connection announced the nine finalists for its Best Car To Buy 2024 award that narrows down the best of every new, redesigned, or significantly refreshed vehicle to help shoppers simplify the car shopping process. We also ran the dozen that missed the cut for not moving the automotive industry forward enough, or for not standing out in any category we assess, such as value, safety, style, powertrain, and other considerations. The reality is that of the 265 car models on sale now, there aren’t many bad ones. But only a handful can be considered the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also this week, we completed most of our 2024 model year testing and finalized some reviews with new safety ratings or pricing announcements. We wrap those up below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
