Kelley Blue Book has released its rankings for the 10 best cars coming out in 2016 based on their projected resale values.
CBS News notes that while Subaru was the top mainstream brand in the recent KBB rankings, General Motors held four of the top 10 spots for individual models.
At the top of the list is the 2016 Toyota Tacoma – a pickup truck estimated to retain 62 percent of its original value after five years.
The average vehicle only retains 35 percent of its original sale price.
Tacomas come standard with four-cylinder engines but have the option of being upgraded to a V-6. The four-cylinder variant is EPA rated for 19 MPG in the city and 23 MPH on the highway, whereas the V-6 offers 19 in the city and 24 on the highway.
