GMC Yukon Wins 2011 Best Overall Values of the Year Award

DETROIT – GMC Yukon took top honors in the full-size SUV category of IntelliChoice’s 2011 Best Overall Values of the Year (BOVY) awards, announced Saturday at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) convention in San Francisco.

Yukon is one of 21 BOVY segment winners this year and represents IntelliChoice’s “best value” pick among full-size SUVs, based on its analysis of ownership costs, including depreciation, maintenance, repairs, fuel, fees, financing and insurance.

“This year’s IntelliChoice ‘Best Overall Value’ honor reconfirms what Consumer Guide said about the Yukon last year – that it’s a ‘best buy,’” said Brian Sweeney, general manager of Buick GMC. “Today’s consumers are looking for vehicles that will provide the best value for their money, which is what we strive to accomplish with GMC vehicles. This award proves that we are achieving our goal.”
