On that note, dubbing Mulliner a trim level doesn’t do the name, or rather the British firm’s personal commissioning division justice

- [Subaru wins best Mainstream Brand in ALG Residual Value Awards](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/02/27/subaru-wins-best-mainstream-brand-in-alg-residual-value-awards/) - Earlier this month we reported on Subaru winning Canadian Black Book’s Best Retained Value for Overall Brand in the Car Category, as part of a larger CBB story covering all brands. The Japanese brand received its award at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto last week, while also taking kudos for winning this year’s top Mainstream Brand in ALG’s 9th Annual 2017 Canadian Residual Value Awards (RVA). The RVA forecasts which brand is more likely to retain the highest average Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) percentage of after four years. “Residual values are a key indicator of the overall market success and health of a vehicle and brand,” said Jim Nguyen, president of ALG.
- [ALG forecasts two Porsche models for best future retained value](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/02/27/alg-forecasts-two-porsche-models-for-best-future-retained-value/) - Recently we reported on Porsche taking home Canadian Black Book’s 2017 Best Overall Brand Award in the Luxury category, as well as four individual model awards. These awards were handed out at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto last week, as were awards for the 2017 ALG Canadian Residual Value Awards. Why two residual value awards? The difference between the CBB awards program and ALG’s is that CBB analyzes the past and ALG forecasts the future. On that note the two Porsches chosen to retain their values best after three years are the new 718 Boxster in the Premium Sportscar Segment and the Panamera in the Premium Executive Segment
- [Honda Ridgeline wins Truck of the Year](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/02/27/honda-ridgeline-wins-north-american-truck-of-the-year/) - Honda completely redesigned its innovative unibody pickup truck for the 2017 model year, and as a reward for a job well done is being named 2017 North American Truck of the Year. The Ridgeline has long been lauded for providing crossover SUV-like handling, ride comfort, and fuel economy in a versatile pickup truck package, but the mid-size model goes much further to win over would-be buyers than that. Like its predecessor, which came on the scene in 2005, Honda has taken a very different tack with this mid-size entry. The new second-generation Ridgeline also features a crossover-SUV-like unibody design albeit with a closed-boxed frame integrated within

- [Acura has lowest cost of ownership over five years amongst luxury brands](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/02/28/acura-honoured-for-lowest-cost-of-ownership-over-five-years-amongst-luxury-brands/) - Everybody wants a good deal, but sometimes the “great” price paid at purchase, even after factoring in a deep discount, doesn’t seem as good later on. Kelley Blue Book tries to remedy this problem by educating consumers about the real cost of owning a vehicle, and then recommends models it believes drive real long-term value. As part of this exercise its 5-Year Cost to Own Awards program recognizes high achieving vehicles and brands. For the second consecutive year Acura took home KBB’s 5-Year Cost to Own Luxury Brand award thanks to its entire lineup placing either first or second in more than half of seven total 5-Year Cost to Own factors, which include the vehicle’s upfront price, depreciation, finance and insurance fees, expected fuel costs, maintenance and repair costs, and jurisdictional fees. With all totals tallied up, KBB projects Acura models will incur the lowest ownership costs over the next five years. “This award demonstrates, once again, that the exceptional quality and reliability of Acura products lead the luxury segment,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of Acura. Acura offers six models including four cars, the ILX sport sedan, TLX performance luxury sedan, and RLX Sport Hybrid luxury sedan, and entirely new NSX mid-engine hybrid supercar, plus two crossover SUVs, the 5-passenger RDX luxury crossover SUV, and the seven-passenger Acura MDX, North America’s all-time bestselling three-row luxury SUV. While Kelley Blue Book is an American company and the previously noted factors that result in 5-Year Cost to Own Award winners are derived from U.S.-spec models sold into markets across the United States, the cost of ownership benefits that caused KBB to choose Acura over all other luxury brands translate directly into the Canadian market as well. In fact, Acura’s Canadian division offers many more standard features for comparatively low pricing after factoring in exchange rates, while the greater standard content helps keep resale values high. What’s more, Acura’s average fuel economy advantage makes an even bigger difference in Canada than the U.S. due to higher average gasoline prices north of the 49th, while maintenance and repair costs are similar between Canada and the U.S., once again after factoring in exchange rates. These factors help make Acura models amongst the most popular in their respective segments, especially the RDX and MDX crossover SUVs which placed second out of 12 and fourth out of 20 competitors respectively in sales last year, outpacing all other Tier 2 luxury brands.
- [Canadian Black Book hands out 2017 Best Retained Value Awards](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/02/17/canadian-black-book-hands-out-2017-best-retained-value-awards/) - Want to get the best deal on your next car? Take note, it doesn’t just come down to the price paid at purchase. Often even more important is resale value, the price you’re actually paying being the difference between the retail price and what you get at trade-in. Once again Toyota proves to be hold its value best as a brand, shown by Canadian Black Book in its 2017 Best Retained Value Awards. The Japanese brand received nine awards this year, while also being tops amongst truck and SUV models. Subaru and Porsche were strong too. Check it out

- [Audi celebrates 8-millionth vehicle with Quattro AWD](https://www.thecarmagazine.com/2017/01/31/audi-celebrates-8-millionth-vehicle-with-quattro-awd/) - A garnet red 2017 Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro rolled off the San José Chiapa, Mexico assembly line this week; fitting that a brand new edition of Audi’s bestselling North American model was also the 8-millionth vehicle to feature Quattro all-wheel drive. Audi launched its Quattro all-wheel drive system at the 1980 Geneva International Motor Show in the now legendary Ur-quattro coupe, and since then the four-ringed Ingolstadt-based premium brand went on to win four World Rally Championship titles, six Pikes Peak Hill Climb victories, a title win in the U.S. TransAm series, two DTM (German touring car) titles, 11 national Super Touring Car Championships, and a Touring Car World Cup. More recently, in November of last year, Mattias Ekström and his private rallycross team EKS won both Driver World Champion and Team World Champion titles at the wheel of the Audi S1 EKS RX quattro in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. Even more importantly, the fast-running, lightweight permanent Quattro all-wheel drive technology has helped Audi distinguish itself from competitive premium automakers, all of which have followed the brand’s lead by building the majority of their models with AWD systems of their own. For a bit of technical history, Audi replaced the first-generation’s manually locking centre differential with the Torsen differential in 1986, which allowed variably distributed drive torque. The planetary drive arrived in 2005, which added an asymmetrical, dynamic distribution of power and torque. Most of today’s Audis benefit from the all-weather traction of a self-locking centre differential. The technology improves driving dynamics no matter the road conditions while improving safety in inclement weather, plus its lightweight design hardly hampers fuel economy. In Canada, Quattro all-wheel drive is standard in the aforementioned Q5 compact SUV, as well as the Q7 mid-size SUV, A4 Allroad crossover, the all-new A5 sport coupe, A5 Cabriolet and S5 Sportback four-door coupe models, (A6 allroad quattro), A8 flagship luxury sedan, R8 sports car, plus all S and RS performance models, while it’s optional in every other Audi model. An impressive 44-percent of Audi’s worldwide customers chose Quattro-equipped models in 2015, the Q5 being number one with about 262,000 unit sales. The strongest Quattro markets were the U.S., Germany, Canada, Russia, and the Middle East. “Most of our customers choose Quattro AWD when purchasing a model that doesn’t already receive it as standard equipment, as Quattro enhances handling and safety while providing greater winter accessibility to areas that are often off-limits without the use of cumbersome and inconvenient chains, such as our local ski hills,” said Chris Ongkiko, General Sales Manager of Dilawri Group’s Audi Downtown Vancouver. “Quattro comes standard with all of our SUVs and most of our car lines, however, so it’s just a matter of deciding which Audi best suits your needs.”
