Along with the endurance of Infiniti on the list, German vehicles continue to hold their appeal. With their reputation for quality, eleven cars on the two lists are from German manufacturers. American manufacturers hold only one place on the list with the Chevrolet Corvette. "Since lease payments tend to be lower than traditional financing, a consumer invests less during the term of the lease. Leasing for a shorter term can eliminate the negative equity problems that longer term traditional financing can result in," said Tarry Shebesta, president and owner of ACS. www.LeaseCompare.com/ provides a tool to instantly evaluate leasing options from a number of sources. Customers can lock in the lease quote they like and apply for credit online. ACS, facilitator for LeaseCompare.com, executes the leases that customers choose from LeaseCompare.
