I read this on MSN news. Kelly Blue Book has valued the 05 models and determined which cars/suvs will hold the most value.

porsche, volvo, mercedes, acura, bmw, infinity, Lexus......and the RX8.

Here are the top ten 2005 vehicles likely retain value the best:*


Acura TL
BMW 5-Series
Infiniti G35 Coupe
Lexus GX 470
Mazda RX-8
Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 Cabriolet
MINI Cooper
Nissan 350Z
Porsche Cayenne
Volvo XC90

 

'Round these here parts it's the pick-em-up-trucks that hold the most value...

 

Yeah, here, too^^ even a beat-to-hell '78 F150 will go for at least 1500 bucks

 

I just found this interesting ...... the league that the new RX8 is in. Very interesting

 

dang thats screwed up!!! lol. *anyone know how to convert a 99 protege into a 99 ram 2500?*

 

Yeah, well, we just drive Proteges 'round here. *sigh* Maybe next car.
That is an impressive list though. It's nice to see Mazda getting some respect.
Maybe the old '80s 'trickle-down' effect will apply here...
