Business Wire
Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) has announced its 10th annual Residual
Value Awards, honoring the vehicles in each segment that are
predicted to retain the highest percentage of their original price
after a conventional three-year lease term. The awards are based on
2009 model year vehicles. For the seventh year, ALG has also
included awards for the brands that have the highest overall
predicted resale values among all industry and all luxury vehicles.
The awards are derived after carefully studying segment
competition, historical vehicle performance and industry trends.
The list of winners can be found on www.alg.com. For the sixth
consecutive year, American Honda Motor Company, Inc. has won the
Industry Brand Residual Value Award. Honda also received individual
segment awards for the Accord in the Midsize Car category, and the
Honda Fit in the Compact Car category. In addition, Acura, Honda�s
luxury division, has won the overall Luxury Brand Residual Value
Award for the first time. Although Acura does not have any segment
winners, all of its vehicles� residual values are relatively
strong, with the new TL and TSX ranking among the highest in their
segments. Toyota Motor Sales, USA again received the most segment
Residual Value Awards. The Toyota brand received four awards, for
the Sequoia (Large Utility Vehicle); the Tacoma (Compact/Midsize
Pickup); the Sienna (Minivan); and the Prius (Hybrid/Alternative
Powertrain � in the first year for that category). In addition,
Toyota�s Lexus LS460 received the Luxury Car award, while the Scion
XB won in the Mid-Compact Car category. Nissan received three
segment awards, for the Maxima (Fullsize Car); the GT-R (Luxury
Sports Car); and the Murano (Midsize Utility Vehicle). BMW won two
awards, for the Mini Cooper (Sporty Car) and the BMW 1 Series (Near
Luxury Car). Land Rover also received two segment awards, for the
Range Rover Sport (Luxury Utility Vehicle) and the LR2 (Near Luxury
Utility Vehicle). Among domestic manufacturers, the Jeep Wrangler
won the segment award for Compact Utility Vehicles for the third
consecutive year, although it is sharing the award this year with
the Subaru Forester, a first time winner. The Ford F-150 received
the award for Fullsize Light Duty Pickups, while the Dodge Sprinter
won in the Commercial � Specialty segment, a new category this
year. �In these unprecedented times � between volatile gas prices
and the turmoil in the credit and financial markets � consistently
achieving strong Residual Values has become a monumental challenge
for auto manufacturers,� said John Blair, Chief Executive Officer
of Automotive Lease Guide. �While a number of companies again
performed well, Honda clearly set itself apart this year by winning
both the overall Industry and the Luxury Brand Awards, as its Acura
division jumped to the top spot from fourth place a year ago. The
Honda and Acura brands both benefit from an extremely disciplined
approach to vehicle production, combined with consistent high
quality and effective pricing strategies. Residual Value remains
the best metric for evaluating the overall strength of an
automotive brand, and we congratulate all of this year�s winners
for their successful products and marketing strategies.� Summary of
