It's partially from people being a bit apprehensive about a "used" Audi. Historically they have been the company to introduce new technology (low drag , full time AWD , handling with comfort and many new innovations) but that brings along a hefty repair bill as the car gets older. Edmunds , KBB , and NADA all factor repair and upkeep into their valuations which adversely affects the Audi's value quicker than other brands.

All new cars--with the exception of rare ones like the Ferrari Enzo--take a huge hit once you drive them off the showroom floor. Depreciation in the first year can easily exceed $3,000--simply because the car has been touched. Mileage has always been a major value detractor on cars, no matter the make or model.

all cars depreciate at a ridiculous rate , as soon as you drive it off the forecourt you have lost the vat , road fund , delivery costs , first reg. fee etc so after 10 mins you are down 20%

Hmmm, except they are not really in the same class.
