I don't think there's anything worse than the depreciation of a Korean car. Other luxury makers (except Lexus) also have pretty poor resale value. That applies to all of them.

My only point regarding the American cars is that you'd be hard pressed to find any of them that enjoy a strong resale value. Projected resale is a nice little BS statistic for Howie Long to throw out on Chevy commercials, but in the real world it doesn't hold up. You can find a 2-3 year old Cobalt and Focus models selling for 1/3 of their initial purchase price all day long. Good luck finding the same deal on a Civic or Corolla.
