Chrysler was the only Big 3 automaker to score 2 vehicles in the Top 10, the perennial strong selling Dodge Caravan, at 5th overall, and the full-size Dodge Ram pickup at 10th. Mazda's compact Protegé was a strong favourite at 4th while the Ford F-Series pickup was the only blue oval on the list at 9th. Strangely the world's number 1 carmaker, General Motors, didn't register a single vehicle in the top ten. "GM has so many different models that it is tough for them to get any one very high on the list," said Timoteo.

The ability to acquire dealer invoice pricing at an extremely low price has made CarCostCanada.com (www.carcostcanada.com) an extremely popular resource for new car shoppers. The web site also offers information on hidden rebates, hold-backs, incentives and national average mark ups. According to Timoteo, "CCC levels the playing field for both consumers and dealers by providing information that removes the pressure cooker atmosphere normally associated with buying a new car, allowing the buyer to make a fair and reasonable offer that in the end most dealers appreciate."
