Every year since 2003, Kelly Blue Book has released the names of cars they predict will have the best resale value after 5 years of ownership. KBB has just released this year’s winners, and Toyota took top honors this year as the Top Brand, with its Lexus division winning Top Luxury Brand. Toyota may have trouble staying on the top in resale, if its current recall has anything to do with it.
