It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 for the Ford Taurus SE, winning the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America for 3rd year in a row. It's newly designed "athletic appearance" and "beautiful lines" have caught some attention, but that stylish exterior isn't all the Taurus has going for it. With low insurance, fuel, and depreciation costs, the Ford Taurus claimed lowest lifecycle costs in 19 out of 20 scenarios. However, the Buick LaCrosse did earn second place honors with top results at 30,000 annual mileage, a five year lifecycle scenario.
