Corvette Makes NewsMax.com�s 10 Best Car Value List

After extensive research and the advice of a panel of auto-industry experts, NewsMax announced the 10 Best Car Values and Corvette made the list! They asked the panel and the researchers to find the top 10 vehicles on the market that give the greatest bang for the buck. Prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices as listed on Edmunds.com.

Kiplinger's named the Corvette American classic the best in its sports-car class. "Little has changed for '07, but power (400 horses from the 6-liter V8), cargo room (an astonishing 22 cubic feet), and a nice price put the 'Vette at the top of our rankings once again," the magazine writes. Corvette was the only American made car on the value list � read more at: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/7/18/172038.shtml
