It was a battle to the finish as the Ford Taurus and Chevrolet Impala competed for the 2012 Vincentric honour. The Chevrolet Impala showed strong value in long-term, long-distance scenarios, but it couldn’t stand up to the Ford Taurus, which showed best value in 14 of the 24 lifecycle scenarios measured. The Taurus’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 financing, fuel, and depreciation costs, the Ford Taurus earned the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in Canada for 2012.
