IRVINE, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire/ — The expert editors at Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com (), the leading provider of new- and used-vehicle information, today announce their picks for the Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000. The vehicles that made Kelley Blue Book’s 2008 list of Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 — typically a gas-sipping bunch — arguably are cooler than they have ever been. More fun, more practical and more amenity-laden than ever before, today’s entry-level vehicles deliver more than simply affordable and efficient transportation.Versatility and technology are growing trends in the under-$18,000 segment. Eight of the cars on this year’s list are flexible five-door hatchbacks, or available as such. The collective options list includes navigation, hard-drive music storage, voice-controlled iPod integration, Bluetooth phone connectivity, push-button start and leather seating — some of which were introduced on high-end luxury cars just a few years ago.”The vehicles on our Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 list are very fun to drive and feature-filled; first-time buyers and frugal down-sizers have never had it so good,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. “Manufacturers are finding ways to nicely equip their entry-level vehicles while still keeping the price reasonably low, and consumers are reaping the benefits more and more each year.”In choosing the 2008 list of Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000, the kbb.com editors used the same set of criteria that many consumers use in examining this category: safety, fuel economy, interior size, comfort, technology, the vehicle’s fun-to-drive-factor, as well as the decidedly subjective “cool” factor. The editors compiled the list of qualifying vehicles using Kelley Blue Book’s New Car Blue Book Values, which reflect real-world transaction prices and provide a more useful comparison point than Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Every vehicle on the list can be purchased for less than $18,000. Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 Vehicle MSRP New Car Blue Book Value 2008 Ford Focus $15,280 $14,942 2008 Honda Fit $14,585 $14,585 2008 Jeep Patriot $16,055 $15,894 2008 Mazda3 $17,230 $16,799 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer $14,615 $14,396 2009 Pontiac Vibe $15,895 $15,895 2008 Scion xB $16,270 $16,351 2008 Subaru Impreza $17,640 $17,375 2008 Suzuki SX4 $15,395 $15,164 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit $16,250 $16,088Vehicles are listed in alphabetical order. New Car Blue Book Values represent transaction values, or what others are actually paying for this vehicle. The listed New Car Blue Book Values were taken from kbb.com during the week of April 1, 2008. New Car Blue Book Values are updated weekly on kbb.com. Adding optional equipment at the time of purchase will increase the price of the vehicle. Kbb.com Editorial Comments on the Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 2008 Ford Focus”Cool” might not be the first word that pops into your head upon seeing the new Ford Focus, but don’t judge this book by its cover. The Focus sedan and coupe are the most affordable cars in which you can get the SYNC music and phone integration system that allows you, for instance, to play any song in your digital library simply by saying its name. That’s cool. MSRP: $15,280 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $14,942 2008 Honda FitWith gas prices on the rise, small cars like the Honda Fit are gaining in popularity. The Fit sips gasoline and offers the sportiest driving experience available in an econo-car. Plus, the seats can be configured in multiple arrangements, so it can easily hold things like your friends, your gear or a medium-sized alpaca (according to a photo on Honda’s Web site, anyway). MSRP: $14,585 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $14,585 2008 Jeep PatriotThe Jeep Patriot has a classic look reminiscent of the departed Jeep Cherokee plus a functional interior and a sub-$18,000 price tag — even when equipped with four-wheel drive. Combined with highway fuel economy up to 28 miles per gallon, the Patriot delivers a cool mix of SUV-like versatility and car-like efficiency for buyers on a budget. MSRP: $16,055 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $15,894 2008 Mazda3On our list for the fifth year in a row and still in its first generation, the Mazda3 is the current elder statesman of cool compact cars. Available in four- and five-door layouts, the dynamic Mazda3 is responsive, quick and stylish, but also comfortable, efficient and practical. MSRP: $17,230 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $16,799 2008 Mitsubishi LancerThe Mitsubishi Lancer’s aggressive, rally-inspired looks belie a starting price of less than $15,000. The low cost of entry will leave many buyers with enough extra cash to add cool options like a hard-drive navigation system, an impressive premium audio system or perhaps a stylish spoiler. MSRP: $14,615 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $14,396 2009 Pontiac VibeThe hot-looking Pontiac Vibe has always delivered a very cool combination of affordability, versatility and fuel economy. Compared with its predecessor, the new-for-’09, second-generation Vibe boasts a sportier look inside and out, more powerful engines and even a lower starting price. MSRP: $15,895 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $15,895 2008 Scion xBThe original “box on wheels” grew rounder, larger and more powerful for 2008, but the xB remains a distinctively styled non-conformist. Cool standard features include steering-wheel mounted audio controls, iPod integration and a choice of three wheel designs for instant customization at the dealership. MSRP: $16,270 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $16,351 2008 Subaru ImprezaWith 170 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a double-wishbone rear suspension, the Subaru Impreza sedan adds a sporty and capable touch to our cool car selections. The five-door variant has a similar base price and suits those in need of more cargo room for their active lifestyles. MSRP: $17,640 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $17,375 2008 Suzuki SX4This is the second year in a row that Suzuki’s small crossover has made our list of cool cars under $18,000. In addition to a sporty exterior and roomy, stylish interior, the SX4 still has the distinction of being the least expensive all-wheel-drive vehicle sold in America. MSRP: $15,395 *NEW CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE: $15,164 2008 Volkswagen RabbitThe versatile and affordable Volkswagen Rabbit hopped its way onto our list with its perky 2.5-liter engine, comfortable ride, sharp handling and a level of interior refinement rivaling that of some much pricier vehicles.

DALLAS, April 25 /PRNewswire/ — Former NFL player and Dallas Cowboy Jason Kaiser received top academic honor at Parker College of Chiropractic’s 68th graduation ceremony. Kaiser earned the title of valedictorian with a GPA of 3.78. “There are a lot of intelligent people in this school and in my class especially,” he said. “To be number one is really an honor.”Before enrolling in Parker College, Kaiser played professional football for more than eight years with teams including the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs. He credits his good grades to a strong work ethic and competitive nature, as well as his football career. “I carried the same attitude into the academic world as I did on the athletic field,” he said. “I was a little competitive in that regard and learned to always be prepared.”Kaiser studied pre-med at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri before heading to the pros. Kaiser intended on pursuing some kind of medical training after his football career ended, but he decided on chiropractic after experiencing the benefits first-hand.A severe groin injury should have sidelined Kaiser for the entire season, but chiropractic care helped him get back on the field after only six weeks. “I figured there must be something going on there when joints get misaligned,” he said. Kaiser’s injury helped him discover the true healing potential of chiropractic, which led him to pursue becoming a doctor of chiropractic.Making a difference in people’s lives is of the upmost importance as Kaiser prepares to enter the health care field. “I want people coming to me with their problems and being able to help them, like letting them play with their kids again, or helping them make it through a day without popping a pain killer,” he said.Kaiser’s first step after graduation will be an associateship with a local chiropractor in Aubrey, Texas. “I feel like I need a little more experience,” he said. “I need to learn the mistakes not to make before I open my own doors.” After gaining that additional experience, Kaiser plans to draw from his background in athletics to open a set of practices that incorporate strength and conditioning as part of the chiropractic wellness paradigm.Athletics has also taught Kaiser many unlikely lessons in chiropractic. He relates football to the way he approaches patient care. Players go through training camp with the ultimate goal of making the team roster. But sometimes, despite how hard they practice or how well they play, they still might not reach their goal. In health care, each patient presents a similar challenge. “You have your best intentions to help them, but no matter how well you do, you might not help every single one,” Kaiser said.Kaiser has prepared himself to help as many patients as possible by taking the “doctor” side of his education seriously, paying special attention to the body from a biochemical and physiological standpoint. “Don’t downgrade the role a chiropractor has in the health care system,” said Kaiser. “The more you know about the body, the more prepared you’re going to be for something more than low back pain.”Kaiser is thankful for his family and wife Leann who have shown tremendous support and understanding through this demanding education process. “The future is bright,” said Kaiser. “I’m walking away with a great education, and I’m going to be a doctor. I feel pretty good about things.”About Parker College of ChiropracticParker College of Chiropractic, located in Dallas, is one of the country’s leading educators of healthcare professionals with an international student enrollment.
