Each year, Consumer Reports compiles a list of the vehicles it expects to be the best and worst when it comes to holding their original resale value. As expected, Toyota products dominated the list of best values for 2012... but there were also a few surprise (good and bad) entries that CR claims earned their spot on this year's resale value list.
