Okay, so what you and a few others hear are saying is what I agree with. And there are very good examples given about a ratio of how one cares for a vehicle to how long it lasts. There is a lot of hype. There are a lot of bandwagoneers. Some stories are false, but some are true, and still some have some truth but are embellished. I agree, there are good and bad points about both domestics and imports. It seems though that domestic manufacturers should try to market their vehicles as much as the import manufacturers do and go above and beyond so that they stand out in quality and performance. Resale value seems more of a hype thing than anything else.
And, what do you guys think about this: Look at the price for a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, it's performance #s, all wheel drive, and finally the price tag. Now do the same for a 2003 Cobra....
