BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan - November 10, 2005 -  Vincentric, a leading
automotive data compilation and analysis firm, announced today that it was

each vehicle we evaluated," stated Mark Solheim, Senior Editor of
Kiplinger's Personal Finance.  "With Vincentric, we found what we were
looking for."

 

"We're pleased that the combination of our high quality data and monthly
updates met the needs of Kiplinger's," commented David Wurster, Co-founder
and President of Vincentric. "Our ability to provide the cost to own and
operate over 1,900 vehicle configurations per model year is a perfect fit
for their financially savvy audience."
