Best Retained Value Awards go to Honda and Acura

Honda and Acura captured the top prizes in Edmunds.com's fourth annual Best Retained Value Awards, which recognize the brands and 2014 models that have the highest projected residual values after five years. It is based on the vehicles’ average "cash" True Market Value (TMV) price during their first five months in the market (or, for vehicles introduced in November or December of 2013, through March 2014). Honda won in the non-luxury division with a projected 50.1 percent residual value after five years, and Acura won the luxury crown with a projected five-year residual value of 45.4 percent. This year's recognition marks the third time that each brand has secured the top prize since Edmunds.com first launched the awards in 2011.
