Re-sale value on "07 VW Rabbit, "07 Ford Fusion or "07 Chevy Malibu?

Question

Which one of these cars depreciated the least? Rabbit w/ 5 cyl engine, Ford Fusion and Chevy Malibu with 6 cyl engines... all with auto trans. Thank.

Answer 1

My opinion, from best to worst depreciation:
1) VW Rabbit - Gets the best fuel economy (not by much, but I guarantee you people will *think* it's much better since it's a compact car), relatively low supply compared to the other two (VW is still a niche manufacturer in the US, and their presence in rental & fleet sales is low), and there will always be an audience for these type of cars (usually younger people).
2) Ford Fusion - Still a fairly new car, not too many of them around, so far it's had good reliability, and while rental/fleet presence is growing but nowhere near as bad as other Fords (Taurus, Mustang).
3) Chevy Malibu - Massive rental/fleet presence (go to any rental agency and you'll see an army of Malibus), and the '08 will be a new design which always hurts the previous design's resale.

Answer 2

Rockies! All the Way! I think it is kind of Funny how everybody doubts them and says they probably wont even make it into post season; an then! KabooM were in the WS!! Boston, prepare to Meet the New and improved Colorado Rockies! Ready for Your A**whoopin'? The Rox haven't lost in post season! as in Undefeated! Can boston say the same!? Go Rox Wednesday night! --------------------------------------... Beckett has become such an intimidating postseason weapon that the Red Sox held him over the Indians' heads throughout Sunday night's Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, even though there appeared little realistic chance that he would pitch in relief -- and thus jeopardize his availability for Game 1 of the World Series, which he then would have had to start on two days' rest. But the Rockies don't feel intimidated. It isn't just the recent past, when, in an Interleague game on June 14 at Fenway Park, they subjected Beckett to his worst beating of the season while handing him his first defeat after a 9-0 start. It took only five innings for the Rockies to reach him for 10 hits and six runs -- the most the leading AL Cy Young Award candidate allowed in any of his 30 regular-season starts. Key members of Colorado's lineup have had remarkable career successes against the one-time ace of the Florida Marlins. As a team, the Rockies have hit Beckett at a .358 clip, paced by Matt Holliday (6-for-14) and Garrett Atkins (6-for-10) -- who led that June 14 demolition with a third-inning grand slam.
