Japanese models continue to dominate the new cars listings and German models head up the used car rankings. "Volume brands, like Honda and Toyota, are becoming more popular for leasing," says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS and a certified lease consultant. "While high-end used European models, like BMW and Mercedes, make excellent used car leases because of their slower depreciation and perceived long term reliability."
