 Canadian Black Book has released the winners of its coveted "Best Retained Value Awards" for 2011.
Awards go to 2007 model-year vehicles retaining the highest percentage of their original MSRP over the past four years across 17 categories.
The Canadian Black Book "Best Retained Value Awards" were introduced in 2006. Retained value is a strong indicator for how a vehicle may perform in the future. For consumers, selecting a vehicle with a high-retained value (lower depreciation rate) will reduce their overall cost-of-ownership.
