Presenting Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ Awards

Drop that Mercedes Benz repair manual first and let’s honor the winners of Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ Awards. Oh yes, it is confirmed! The awards generally went to the hybrids. The Toyota Prius, together with the Ford Escape hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid and the Toyota Highlander, each won the Best Value in America™ award in their corresponding division.

"Hybrids benefited from three main factors", stated David Wurster, the President of Vincentric. "First were their strong fuel economy ratings, resulting in lower fuel costs for these vehicles. Second were their strong residual values due to high demand, resulting in lower depreciation costs. And third was the federal tax credit that went into effect this year. This combination of factors creates extremely strong value for consumers."
