List of Brand New Models Available in 2011
January 6, 2011
For those looking to buy a new car in 2011, you should be aware of some brand new models available this year.
The following are all completely brand new models, which means they are not redesigned or refreshed models from prior years.
Most are hybrids and smaller cars that get great mileage - but be aware that since these are all new models, the likelihood of negotiating a terrific deal is low.
You'll need to wait several months after they're introduced before you start seeing prices drop.

2012 Audi A7
This new entry in the four-door coupe class is technically a hatchback. Many people have fallen in love with Audi's recent sleek designs, however, there is definitely going to be a premium you will pay due to high demand and short supply when the vehicle arrives in the spring.
