Ten Toyota Models Top Vincentric’s “Best Value” Rankings!

When it comes to “Top 10″ lists, coming up with the “Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Toyota” just got a lot easier: That’s because Vincentric, one of the country’s most widely relied upon sources of automotive value data, recently announced its annual “Best Value in America” Awards, and it was Toyota leading the way with 10 segment winners—more than twice the number of any other brand. In addition, Toyota also earned recognition for best overall brand value in the Passenger Car category.
Garnering the honors for Toyota were:

• 4Runner—Taking the Mid-Size SUV segment for the third consecutive year
• Avalon—Winning the Large Car category for the sixth time
• Camry Hybrid—Besting all other Mid-Size Hybrid Sedans
• FJ Cruiser—The top-rated Compact SUV
• Highlander Hybrid—”Best Value” among the Mid-Size Hybrid SUV ranks
• Land Cruiser—Achieving its fourth straight victory in the Mid-Size Premium SUV segment
• Prius—Leading all Advanced Fuel Technology Compacts for the sixth time
• Tacoma—Now on a seven-year run as the highest-placing Compact Pickup
• Venza—Earning the highest marks in the Mid-Size Crossover category for the second time

Vincentric’s “Best Value in America” Awards are based on a comprehensive range of cost-of-ownership measures including depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes, state fees and repairs, with all vehicles evaluated across all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C.
“Vincentric’s 2011 Best Value in America Awards use cost-of-ownership to provide an independent benchmark that helps consumers understand which vehicles provide the best value in their segment,” said David Wurster, president of Vincentric.

And with one look at that list, it’s easy to understand why so many customers use that data to buy Toyota products.
