I'll have to forward this link to my father. He's a Toyota nut.

If they are segregating it by brand, how did MINI not win?

Honda - Toyota - Nissan
Was pretty much expecting that.

Fine by me... Hondas don't appeal to me at all, and I mostly buy used cars.

Not surprised. Honda and Toyota makes good products.

I know Mazda is probably the lowest of all the Major Japanese Manufacturers (aside from Suzuki/Isuzu or something). Most of their old cars were pieces of crap. The 3rd gen RX-7 held its value extremely well, the Miata did "OK", but the rest just blowed. A good 3rd RX-7 goes for at least 11-12k now, and thats about a 10 year old car! I'd say a Miata in decent shape is probally worth more than an Accord/Civic or Camry/Corolla of the same year. I paid just as much for my 1994 Miata when it was a 10 year old car than I did for my 1997 Saturn when it was a 6 year old car. Hopefully Mazda does better in the coming years since there product line has improved so much over the past 3 years. The 3 and the 6 make the 323 and 626 pale in comparision. Though I feel the RX-8, even though its a nice car, is an unworthy successor to the RX-7.

Domestics still suck as resale, as usual. I can't think of much that'll hold its value well. Corvette? FordGT? Heh.

Nissan Motor Co. (Research) won the midsize car segment award for the Altima, displacing Honda's Accord, which took that segment award last year. The Infiniti G35, also produced by Nissan Motors, won the near luxury segment.

This is rigged, it smells of Skoorb Effect :disgust:

 

[maddogchen]

wow a typo....Accura

 

[welst10]

They do a horrible job with oil filter placement. It's freakin messy to change oil filter on Honda/Acura. It annoys the hell out of me. I can tell you my next car will not be a honda/acura.

 

[deejayshakur]

not impressed by honda's recent track record, ie recalls on tranny and airbags. used to love honda before.

 

[alent1234]

in other news, GM is going to launch another ad campaign to sell off 2004 models still on dealer's lots

You aren't going to buy a Honda/Acura because you are too cheap to pay someone else to change your oil filter?

Makes sense.

It's not about cheap. It's about trust and quality of work. Many people who choose to work on their cars do so because they don't believe the shops can do a good job. I used to have my oil change done at shops. They screwed me multiple times, like broke my oil filler cap (how can you break that?), overtightened the drain plug, either put too much or too little oil in it, etc.

toyota trucks still rule! 😛

Toyota Motor Corp. (Research) won four individual segments, as the Tacoma had the best retained value among compact trucks, the Sequoia was tops among fullsize SUVs, the 4Runner for the midsize SUV Segment, and the Tundra for fullsize trucks.

God forbid he would want to work on his own car .

Exactly... they use impact wrench on that drain plug like all the time.. better off DYI.. and you can check other things under the hood while you're there..

corvette still remains the best sports car to retain its value 5 years down the road...

I wish they wouldn't call the Tundra a fullsize becuase its not.

Great... but 7,000lb towing and payload of 1800lbs don't seem very "fullsize" to me.

I doubt many people tow that much in an F-150 either. The Tundra and F-150 are light-duty trucks. Anyone that wants to do some serious hauling/towing gets a HD w/diesel
