Edmunds.com said Honda's average projected retained value is 50.4%, while Lexus' average projected retained value is 48.1%, both based on average five-year retained value of 2011 models that launched prior to the end of 2010.
Edmunds.com also named winners in 23 model-level categories. Both Honda and Lexus each had four more awards.
The firm says consumers can add value by including things like power sunroof, leather seats, and DVD entertainment, but safety features don't boost a car's retained value, per the firm.
