I'm actually surprised Volkswagen is ranked so high but it's good to see.
I'm afraid the news isn't so good for Mitsubishi right now.

Only 4th? Bummer... But it's probably things like the hybrids that have Honda and Toyota high on the list.

I can personally vouch for that number as I had quite a positive experience selling my 2004 WRX

Since this is only resell value, I think we're doing pretty well. Wait till the Leg GT and such start getting older and I think that our rank will go up. I too am suprised by VW though considering all the problems that I hear about them.

Yeah, Subaru has been up there for a while. I remember when I bought my '93 Loyale in '99, the Blue Book on it was $4,500 and it was a sedan w/ FWD and 75K miles on it. My mom's Forester was also up there, but she was able to make the sales manager cry and got it for what she wanted to pay.
I am a bit surprised by the VW thing too, but not the others, except GMC. Can anyone explain that?
