Comparisons
The comparison that matters is the one with the fees in it.
Most comparisons stop at horsepower and cargo space. These start there and keep going into the part that decides what you pay: California sales tax by ZIP, the capped document fee, dealer-installed add-ons, rebate qualifications and the finance rate.
Every page names its criteria, says plainly when the other car is the better buy, and sends you to live inventory near you instead of a form.
