For 2008, Kelley Blue Book says the five brands with the best overall predicted resale values are Volkswagen AG's Volkswagen, BMW AG's BMW, Honda Motor Co.'s Acura and Honda brands, then Porsche AG's Porsche. Rounding out the top 10 are Subaru, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi and Toyota. ...

... Three of the German brand's models in particular -- the Eos, Jetta and Rabbit -- have average residuals greater than 50%. The majority of Volkswagen's vehicles have held more than 48% of their original price over the past five years, KBB says, and all but one model has improved its residual values in the past year. ...

BMW's Mini brand and Toyota Motor Corp.'s Scion hold better than 50% residuals but weren't counted by KBB because they didn't have at least four nameplates in their portfolios."

man that corvette looks delicious. But how can you have resell of a xb and it just came out a few months ago. Oh- re read headline, TOYOTA, well that's nice. Have to wait a while on the 2008, those are boxes not numbers on the left.
