With vehicle quality going up, it’s tough for dealers to convince car buyers that the vehicles on their lots are the best out there.
But vehicles that have won awards could help dealers make the sale.
The editors at Kelley Blue Book in the U.S. have sifted through many great award-winning cars to produce the ultimate list of its top 10 Most Awarded Cars Of 2015.
The 2015 Honda Civic comes out on top with the most KBB awards and accolades.
KBB combed through the various awards it has dished out throughout 2015, including Best Buy Awards, Resale Value Awards and Brand Image Awards and 5-Year Cost to Own Awards.
That also includes various accolade lists for the coolest cars, best green ones, most tech-savvy vehicles and even the best back-to-school cars.
