The Jeep Grand Cherokee barely cracked the top 20 most researched vehicles on kbb.com (Kelly Blue Book). From the official press release:
Kelley Blue Book's No. 1 and most visited new car shopping Web site kbb.com, names the most researched vehicles so far this year. Information was collected among more than 40 million unique visitors generating nearly 180 million pricing reports.
The newly redesigned Ford Mustang has generated so much consumer interest this year that it is now the first domestic vehicle
to break into kbb.com's Top 10 Most Researched vehicles list. This is only one of few accolades Ford has earned from Kelley
Blue Book over the last several months, including Best Redesigned Vehicle of 2005 and recently Kelley Blue Book market analysts
uncovered that the excitement of the all-new pony car has extended to include the Mustang's previous body style raising the
sale price of a 2003 or 2004 model by $500 to $1,000.
"While this is the first time Ford has cracked the top 10, they are no stranger to our Most Researched list," said Jack R.
Nerad, editorial director and executive market analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "Ford had a great run with the Explorer, but
in 2005 it vanished from the top of consumer shopping lists."
