Large
2012 Toyota Avalon
|
It was no surprise to see the Toyota Avalon in first place, as this popular large sedan snatched its seventh Vincentric Best Value in America award. The Avalon continued to demonstrate leadership in this competitive group of eight models, earning the win with its low depreciation and best-in-class maintenance and fuel costs. The Buick LaCrosse was a close runner-up, but couldn’t beat the Avalon’s ownership costs which were almost 9% lower than expected.
