We feel that Audi makes some of the best cars available, and we aren’t the only ones.
At the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Audi announced today that is has received several awards from the car gurus at Kelley Blue Book. More specifically, awards for Total Cost of Ownership, the site’s highest honor.
Audi as a whole was honored with the award for best Luxury Brand, while the 2012 Audi A5 was warded with best Luxury Car and the 2012 Audi Q7 with best Luxury Sport Utility.
Kelley Blue Book’s Total Cost of Ownership calculates the cost associated with owning a vehicle for the first five years, including depreciation, insurance, state fees and maintenance costs. Audi managed to beat out all its competitors including those that offer free scheduled maintenance, proving that great design and unsurpassed engineering can beat sales gimmicks.
