Cars.com Releases Winners And Losers For Consumer Interest
Several cars that were redesigned for 2008 have generated interest among consumers shopping at Cars.com, according to the latest Cars.com Consumer Search Index. The 2008 Saturn Vue, Toyota Highlander and Subaru Impreza, all which were redesigned for the 2008 model year, top the list of new cars experiencing the greatest increase in searches on Cars.com over the past month.

Its because they are more EXPENSIVE and therefore people like you cannot afford or aspire to them for monetary and economical reasons.

Houston

I have 2. a W209 and a W114. New one is under warranty, and the classic is infact an expensive hobby I am lucky enough to partake in.

Interesting reflection on gas prices and the economy, notice cheaper fuel efficient cars on the rise, near luxury cars and SUV on the way down.

The C Class has to be one of the best designs of the year, too expensive for it to be on the 'most searched' list, people like bland camrys and accords

Hmm. This article has absolutely no relevancy, but I wasn't expecting this:

"1 Acura MDX 45%
2 Lexus ES 350 30% "

Both of these are new models for 2007, and both are significantly more attractive/impressive than the vehicles they replace.

And I didn't even know the Infiniti G5 existed, so I guess I can see why that went down!
