Lexus just does so well in pretty much all aspects of the automotive game. Kudos to this ranking!

I'm surprised at Audi's 3rd position. They used to have horrendous residual values.

Very true indeed. Someone help understand the reason behind Lexus's awful lease rates please.

Pretty cool, but last summer when I was looking for a used car I was really surprised at how little 98-2000 GS400s were worth. It made it easier for me to buy one though so I can't complain

Great job for Lexus, and that's a pretty bad position for Mercedes. Shocking almost that Infiniti and Acura were above Benz in residuals.
