The next evolution

The way the automotive industry moves, if you aren't moving forward fast, then you're really just taking steps backwards. The main force behind the next wave of 2013 car redesigns isn't just the changing tastes and preferences of car buyers; it is also technological innovation.

We live in a time unlike any other in history, where our technological capabilities advance much faster than we expect. Technology is a huge driving force behind the automotive industry, and the most tangible example of it is how improved the new models are over their outgoing counterparts. If you are checking out new cars for sale, you definitely need to give these new models a look to see how improved they are.

Everyone gets in on the action

Design overhauls are nothing new, and popular models usually get a redesign after a few years or so. All the major car manufacturers are redesigning at least one of their vehicles. Here are some of the biggest names in the industry and some of their new redesigned vehicles.

Some car makers were more aggressive than others. Honda seems content to stick with its tried and true formula, and with a car as perennially successful as the 2013 Accord, why wouldn't you? Nissan however has taken a more proactive approach, and has stated that within the next 15 months they will redesign five different vehicles.

Other makers have taken a more strategic approach in their redesigns. Chevy is attempting to make their larger sedans, like the Malibu, more attractive to everyday car buyers. The new Colorado is being released in Thailand first, which surprisingly is the largest market for midsize trucks.

Ford is also more methodical about their redesigns, and is targeting two of their fastest growing vehicles. Their redesigned 2013 Ford Escape and Ford Fusion improve upon their models in two critical car segments.

These cars are just the tip of the iceberg. Every year you can expect every car maker to step their game up and produce higher quality and more competitive vehicles. It all adds up to the perfect recipe for you to get a great car at a low price.
