Mid-Size, Coupe, Premium
2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS Class
|
Mercedes-Benz sets the standard in this premium segment for mid-size coupes, winning the Vincentric Best Value in America award for 2012. With a 6% lower than expected cost-of-ownership, the CLS Class earned the win, with additional assistance from its best in class insurance costs. Although the Audi A5 gave a valiant effort, it ended up settling for second place and hoping for better results next year.
