In this segment containing some of the best know names in luxury vehicles, the tandem from Audi – the A6 and S6 - earned Vincentric’s Best Value in America award for the first time. What determines value among the crème-de-la-crème of this premium class? For these winners it was the ability to maintain its value longer, resulting in low depreciation and ownership costs that were over 3% lower than expected. The 2011 Audi S6 redesign and new features were icing on the cake.
