deals of the week

While consumers are busy tending to holiday shopping this time of year, auto makers are particularly busy ensuring annual sales targets are met.

Their task is made especially difficult because vehicle sales volumes move in tandem with temperatures. January consistently registers the lowest monthly sales in the industry, but December represents the beginning of the seasonal slowdown as the second worst month for sales volumes.

There are exceptional deals for informed buyers in this environment. Deals of the Week highlighted Black Friday deals last month and December has brought a litany of holiday themed incentives. Later this month, Deals of the Week will feature Boxing Week sales.

Our favourite deals this week continues the theme started last week on the best deals on all-wheel drive vehicles in preparation for winter:
