Honda won the 2011 brand award for non-luxury makes, while Lexus took home the award for luxury brands.
Honda's average projected retained value is 50.4%, while Lexus' average projected retained value is 48.1%.
These award winners help shoppers choose a car with high-retained value so they can maximize savings when it comes to trade-in or selling the vehicle down the road.
A high resale value also makes it less expensive to lease the vehicle. Here is the full list of winners:
