About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK |

Why our customers love our dealers...
"He called us and when we returned his call he told us about the rebates and what he had in stock. He also called us right back and told us about another rebate that had just come in to his dealership. When we went to see the car he had it pulled out and ready for us to drive we didn't have to wait and he did not have to go with us. When we went in to buy it there were no problems or hassles. The car was ready, cleaned, and full tank of gas. All the rebates were just as he said. He was more than very helpful and we thought his service was efficient, quick, and to the point."
- Pat C. (Sterling, Virginia)
