“Automakers, with their analysts and planning and business sense, have no idea how to make a car that people would want to buy! I, the premier armchair expert, know what they’re doing wrong and know how to fix it! It needs more power! Less power! Less bland styling! Less extreme styling! A manual! A DCT! It needs less weight, but also to be a wagon! Sheesh, why does no one listen to me?!”

This is my personal favourite sign that someone has no clue how this whole thing works.

Actually, if it works, it’s a heckuva plan. Somehow get a car company to make a niche model that a very small, but passionate group is clamoring for, then when they do and it sells like crap because no one outside the small group actually wants it, they will also likely depreciate like a rock sinks...step 4: Profit!

But it’ll never depreciate hard, because the people who own them will know what they have, and charge an arm and a leg for it. See: the 1M.

Look at the comments for the new Alpine and how it’s not coming to America. Apparently being a Jalopnik commenter makers one an expert in designing automobiles.
Alternatively, look for any article on the SS.

Ah. I wasn’t saying you were wrong, just wasn’t sure WHICH article you were referring to, you know, today.

I was only thinking of the first couple years. Unless it’s a pure unicorn, I think most see a quick drop, then rise back up, but heck, I’m far from an expert.

Oh, I didn’t think you were saying I was wrong. Sorry if my comment came off as dickish.
