The Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot and Dodge Caliber took three of the top four spots in kbb.com’s “Hot Car Report” last week. The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee took the fifth spot. The kbb.com list measures growth in consumer inquiries for vehicle models receiving at least 800 page views in a week.
Driven by hefty incentives, hits for the Compass were up 35.4% giving it the No. 1 spot in the survey. With growth of 35.2 percent, the BMW 5-Series was runner-up. The Patriot and Caliber came in third and fourth with 32.8% and 24.4% increases, respectively. Inquiries about the current Jeep Grand Cherokee rose 22.4 percent. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee scored well among kbb.com’s tally for intro and redesigned models with a 27.6% increase in page visits, second only to the new BMW 5-Series.
“When Lennon and McCartney wrote the lyric ‘Money can’t buy me love,’ they proved that they were musicians and not car salesmen,” wrote kbb.com editors. “Three of the top four vehicles in our data this week have generated little enthusiastic interest since introduction in 2007, but their status in the Hot Car Report proves that there is no substitute for cold hard cash. Chrysler’s three small crossovers, the Jeep Compass, Patriot, and Dodge Caliber, as well as the soon-to-be replaced Jeep Grand Cherokee, all have seen up to $5,000 placed on their hoods and shoppers at kbb.com are responding.”
