PALO ALTO, Calif., June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Car Connection, the easiest place to research and shop for cars online, announced today the launch of its new 'Build Your Car' pricing application, the latest addition to its suite of car review and research products that help car shoppers make more informed car buying decisions.

The site's new 'Build Your Car' app allows car shoppers to quickly build, price and then share a specific new model car with options, seeing price changes instantly. The application is also enhanced with professional buying advice at the style level from the same car experts who produce The Car Connection's best-in-class car reviews. This helps clarify what is normally a confusing part of the car-buying process.

"Car shoppers usually swim in a confusing sea of car names, options, initials and prices that make the 'last mile' of the decision process extremely difficult," said Marty Padgett, Editorial Director of The Car Connection. "We wanted to add our editors' expert tips and guidance at this exact point in the build and price process to make these tools more helpful."

The 'Build Your Car' Pricing Application will be integrated into The Car Connection's review information and shopping tools for each new car. Car shoppers can also try the feature out here.
