Visalia, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2011 -- Visalia Buick GMC, one of the leading dealers for Fresno Buick shoppers, is happy to announce that the Buick Enclave took top honors in the full-size crossover category of Vincentric’s seventh annual Best Value in America awards announced today, beating Ford Flex and other competitive models. Enclave previously earned the honor in 2009.
Vincentric, a privately held automotive data compilation and analysis firm, headquartered in Bingham Farms, Mich., selects winners based on calculations of total cost of ownership relative to price within industry segment.
“Winning the Vincentric ‘Best Value in America’ award reaffirms what Consumer Digest said of Enclave last year – that it’s a ‘Best Buy,’” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president, Buick Marketing. “Enclave is a smarter choice for crossover buyers, not only for its lower cost of ownership, but also for its winning blend of sleek, contemporary design, luxurious quiet-tuned interior and superior ride and handling.”
In addition to winning the “Best Value in America” award twice and the “Best Buy” designation four times, the Enclave, available at this Fresno area Buick dealer, was recently nominated for About.com’s 2011 Readers’ Choice Award in the "Best New Crossover Vehicle" category.
“We picked Enclave over other full-size crossovers, because its low depreciation rate and low service costs resulted in a cost of ownership that is 3 percent lower than expected for similarly priced vehicles in its segment,” said David Wurster, president of Vincentric.
