2009 BMW 5-Series
|
| For 2009, the winning formula that enabled the 5-Series sedan to bring home Vincentric’s Best Value in America award was a mixture of low depreciation and low maintenance costs. As a result, the Volvo S80 had to settle for second place, with the Audi S6 ending up as a respectable third place finisher. |
