How we plan to top a record-breaking 2025
Cars.com had a big 2025, reaching new heights in both traffic1 and unaided brand awareness2 to connect more in-market shoppers with local dealers.
2026 is going to start off even bigger, with some epic Q1 plans to capture the car-buying imaginations of consumers everywhere from “Big Game” 🏈 watch parties (don’t miss our team-up with 4X Pro-Bowler Fred Warner!) to their favorite streaming shows and podcasts.
We’ll also be rolling out our annual awards for the best cars and top-rated dealers to help Cars.com shoppers make confident buying decisions with local stores.
You won’t want to miss the hype and all the local in-market shoppers it brings to Cars.com
