        NL - Cars that did not make the September Top 10 List

        Cars that made the September list, but dropped off the Top 10
        in October included the Lexus RX300 (No. 4 in Sept), Mercedes
        E-Class (No. 9 in Sept), and Jeep Grand Cherokee (No. 10 in
        Sept).

    "The Accord and Corvette continue to battle for first place with the Accord winning the No. 1 spot in this month's Top Ten List," said Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS. "These cars have a naturally higher residual which makes them favorable for leasing by providing a lower monthly payment compared to cars of similar cost."
