Harris Interactive®, Kelley Blue Book Release Complete Set of AutoVIBES Demographic Reports

The AutoVIBES Demographic Reports, a complete set of 12 studies now available from online vehicle market research leaders Harris Interactive® and Kelley Blue Book Marketing Research, provide powerful insight into consumer groups' vehicle shopping attitudes, opinions and behaviors based on generation, ethnicity and lifestyle. The information in each report is drawn from interviews with more than 25,000 in-market vehicle shoppers who are within 12 months of purchasing or leasing a new vehicle, and provides detailed data and analysis regarding a variety of purchase consideration factors.

"The AutoVIBES Demographic Reports provide invaluable information for automotive marketers by showing a complete picture of the influences and issues affecting different segments of the car-buying population," said Rick Wainschel, vice president of marketing research for Kelley Blue Book. "Armed with the comprehensive knowledge contained in these reports, manufacturers will better understand the driving factors behind vehicle purchase decisions for each group, and communications teams will be able to more specifically tailor future messaging and advertising to effectively reach desired target audiences."

The Generation series contains reports for Generation Y, Generation X, Baby Boomers and Pre-Boomers.
