New Look, Content for WardsAuto

WardsAuto.com goes live with enhanced features that enable subscribers to get more than ever before from the industry's premiere subscription news and data service.

Among enhancements, WardsAuto's already powerful search engine adds the capability to search data tables for the first time, within a redesigned format that's sleek and contemporary.

Users can search data by region of the world, country, data type and periodicity (annually, monthly, etc.). A keyword phrase, alone, can be used to guide the user straight to desired data tables — which continue to be in the Excel format for maximum usability.

Advanced article search also is greatly improved. In addition to narrowing down by topic, company type, technology, source (WardsAuto, Ward's AutoWorld, Ward's Dealer Business) and region, subscribers now can zero in on a particular date range.

The new WardsAuto features a more contemporary design that integrates all Ward's products into one site. And it is based on a new software “platform” that enhances its performance and stability.

Also new is a Test Drive section, which pulls together in one spot all the latest vehicle reviews by the WardsAuto editorial team.
