2010 Ford Mustang
|
The Ford Mustang has been honored with numerous accolades since it was first introduced in 1964, but 2010 is the first year for the Mustang to win Vincentric’s Best Value in America award. Key to its entry to the winner’s circle was the lowest depreciation rate in its class as well as the lowest maintenance cost of any sports car measured.
