President Barack Obama said this weekend that voters want a "new car smell" in the 2016 White House race and that Hillary Clinton would make a "great president."

During a nationally televised interview on Sunday, Obama suggested that Democratic voters are looking for a candidate without the "dings" he's suffered during his six years as President while battling with Congress.

"They want to drive something off the lot that doesn't have as much mileage as me," Obama said in the interview with ABC's "This Week," which was taped Friday in Las Vegas following a public appearance.

He said that a number of different candidates would make "terrific presidents," but Clinton is the only one he would mention by name.

Obama added that Clinton she would be a "formidable candidate" and would become a "great president" if she decides to run for a second time, according to the interview.

Hillary is expected to announce her decision sometime in early 2015. She has been a powerful force in Democratic politics for a number of years, beginning as Arkansas' first lady before she became America's first lady when her husband, Bill Clinton, was elected president in 1992.

When Bill's terms were up, she ran and won a U.S. Senate seat from New York. She then sought and lost the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination to Obama.

After losing, she served as Obama's secretary of state during his first term.

New car smell or not, it seems voters currently hold her in high regard. Eight in 10 Democrats held "positive views" of Clinton in an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in late July.

Biden meanwhile had a 71 percent favorable rating, according to the Associated Press.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush is considering the 2016 race as well which would mean the U.S. could see another Bush vs. Clinton race for the White House.

Three of the past four presidents dating back to the 1988 election have either been Clinton or a Bush.
