2008 ALG Residual Value Award Winners
2008 Residual Value Awards
Automotive Lease Guide has announced its annual Residual Value Awards, which honor those vehicles in each automotive segment predicted to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a conventional three-year lease term.
This year's awards are based on 2008 model year vehicles. For the sixth year, ALG has also included awards for the brands with the highest predicted resale values among all industry and luxury vehicles.

Award winners are featured on ALG.com and other automotive publications and websites dedicated to bringing the industry's best-performing models into the public eye.

Its the first time ever someone besides Lexus or BMW didn't win. And Lexus was 2nd. Their lineup consists of 4 vehicles compared to Lexus and BMW which has at least twice as much. Apples to Oranges.
I hope they advertise this like mad, they need the press.

LOL. No, its more like 2 SUVs, 2 sedans, & 1 coupe
But really, what difference does it make? Infiniti is still #1 in this category. They obviously know what the public wants instead of feeding them vehicles that the public clearly does not want (cough cough, GS450h, cough cough).

Lexus Champion
What sucks is that despite Lexus being ranked #2 and Infiniti being ranked #1, they both have far worse residuals for actual leases than BMW does... granted, BMW subsidizes their leases to make them that way, but still... wouldn't it be great if Lexus or Infiniti would do the same? The deals would be crazy good!

Bwahahahahaha. Dude, what don't you understand? Are you really trying to convince me that the coupe is the same car as the sedan? Who cares what letter comes before it? We both know that the G coupe for example has a better resale value than the sedan. That has always been the case. If they were the same car, resale numbers would be identical.

You cannot call a 3 coupe another line from the 3 sedan.
Audi did with the A5. Its not called an A4 coupe.
A IS 250 and 350 is not a different car. ITs the same.
An Infiniti FX 35 and 45 is not a different car its the same.
Its called a G 35 and G37. Its a "G" car.
Thus G car, M car, QX suv, FX suv. 4 models.
For the 49th time, the Lexus GS 450h meets its limited sales goal targets of 1,800 units a year here.
