Award Winners Audi and Honda tied for the second-most segment honors, with three each. “Toyota, Audi and Honda captured the most segment honors due to the consistent high value of all their products,� said Larry Dominique, president of ALG. “Honda was named top Mainstream Brand due to their prudent use of incentives – $1,000 lower than the mainstream average – and low rental fleet penetration. These factors help maintain vehicle value, which tremendously benefits consumers.� Among the segment winners, the Mazda3 won the hotly contested compact segment, knocking off the Hyundai Elantra, which had won that category three years in a row, and besting the Honda Civic and redesigned Toyota Corolla. ALG’s RVA brand awards introduce a new methodology this year, the Residual Value Brand Index, which ensures that brands with portfolios heavily weighted on low-residual segments, such as larger trucks and

SUVs, are not at a disadvantage. “Trucks historically have lower residual value due to the work and abuse they endure, so manufacturers that have sold a high volume of trucks have been adversely affected in previous brand rankings,� said Eric Lyman, vice president of content and partner development at ALG. “This new index is a better way to equally measure brands against each other, regardless of the segments in which they compete.� The impact of the new methodology is demonstrated by the uptick in the 2014 residual positioning of the GMC and Toyota brands, while Buick experienced a decline. The ascension of Mercedes-Benz to the top spot among premium brands snaps a seven-year streak by Japanese manufacturers, while Honda is the highest mainstream brand for the second straight year. Among Premium vehicles, only Audi received multiple segment awards.
