COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 21 -- Nadaguides.com (www.nadaguides.com) a leading vehicle information website, has launched a comprehensive, online side-by-side vehicle comparison tool, giving consumers the ability to compare up to four different vehicles simultaneously.

This easy-to-use service allows car buyers the opportunity to select from a list of virtually every vehicle available on the market today -- from new and used cars, trucks and SUVs. They can compare new 2005 vehicles against other 2005 vehicles, they can compare new cars against used cars or used against used, dating back to 1998. Car buyers can handpick the vehicles they want to compare side-by-side or they can choose to have nadaguides.com select a 'recommended' list of vehicles to compare, powered by the company's data partner, Chrome Systems Corporation. The 'recommended' feature automatically provides a list of comparison vehicles with similar designs, pricing, features and specifications.

"When it comes to buying a car, consumers need choice," said Lenny Sims, vice president, nadaguides.com. "You might have your heart set on a new 2005 truck, but a 2004 -- with the same design, options and features -- might be thousands of dollars less. Or, you might be interested in a particular car but you might not know there are variety of other cars with similar features and price points available on the market. Our tool gives you in-depth pricing and specification information so you can simultaneously compare all types of vehicles, new and used."

In addition to pricing information, the nadaguides.com comparison tool provides consumers with a comprehensive chart of detailed information for each vehicle, including powertrain data (EPA fuel economy; cruising range; engine type and displacement; fuel system type; transmission type and gear ratios), dimensions (passenger capacity; head, leg, shoulder and hip room statistics; length, height, overhang, ground clearance and cargo room information), chassis data (axel weight, capacity and ratio; curb weight; option weight; hitch information; wheel and tire information; steering ratio; braking and fuel tank data) and much more.

This information is provided in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand chart, giving car buyers a side-by-side look at each vehicle and its respective features, for convenient side-by-side comparisons.

"Information is power," Sims continued, "and the more information you have, the more educated the car buyer you become. Our comparison tool provides you with a bird's eye view of vehicles you might be interested in purchasing, vehicles you haven't yet considered, pricing and specification information you may or may not be aware of and, basically, all of the information required to make an educated car buying decision."

Consumers can find the nadaguides.com comparison tool by logging onto www.nadaguides.com, clicking on the "Compare Vehicles" link in the "Browse Vehicles" section of the website's home page....sure sounds and looks like The Auto Channel's 4-Car Comparagraph, oh yes plagerism is the sleezest form of flattery...assholes
