Automakers often redesign the models in their lineups in order to keep their offerings fresh, modern and competitive, and Cars.com recently announced that Toyota and Honda came out on top among redesigned for the 2012 model year. The Honda CR-V and Toyota Camry were the most successful redesigns out of 61 different models, based on sales and a number of other factors.

"Not all redesigns are equally successful, but the Camry and CR-V scored big among top-selling models," said Kelsey Mays, an industry analyst for Cars.com. "The Camry drew huge appeal from car shoppers, and the CR-V has been equally popular among shoppers and has also been a Cars.com favorite this year, winning the Cars.com/USA Today Compact SUV Shootout."

Successfully redesigned cars like the CR-V and Camry can help move brands forward, but they do not devalue previous models. Those looking for used cars can still find older versions of these and other models that offer many features, such as infotainment systems, sunroofs and power windows. In fact, they may be able to find recent cars, as many drivers may trade in their current 1- to 3-year-old vehicles in order to purchase the new, redesigned cars.

This means used car shoppers will have more options when they visit New Jersey State Auto Auction. The dealer has nearly four football fields of used cars, trucks and SUVs, and every vehicle on the lot is CARFAX certified. This allows drivers to buy with confidence, knowing they'll be getting behind the wheel of a reliable ride.
