After a brief absence the Chevrolet Corvette makes its return to the top 10 new list. Thanks to a whole new design the excitement around this new generation is strong. A newcomer to the used car list is Land Rover's Range Rover. This could be due to the popularity of their new LR3 model.
"With interest rates on the rise, leasing is starting to pick up." says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS and a certified lease consultant. "Now is a good time to lease because vehicle residual values are at their highest level and a higher residual equals a lower lease payment.

As the manufacturers switch from zero percent finance programs and customer rebates to subsidized leasing, more domestic models will return to the list.
