Chicago—September 13, 2007—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.

"New 2008 models are starting to hit dealer lots in significant numbers, and manufacturers are pushing their marketing efforts to make consumers aware of those new models," said Cars.com managing editor Patrick Olsen. "That being said, there are still plenty of new 2007 vehicles on dealer lots and valuable incentives that make this a pretty good time to buy for consumers."

Below are the vehicles with the most searches on Cars.com and the vehicles experiencing the largest increases and decreases month over month.
