I think many of us bought the car because we really liked it. I for one did not even think about depreciation when I bought it. My current plan is to keep this car "forever" when depreciation will not ever be an issue. On the other hand, I (and my dealer) wouldn't be surprised to see it go out of production in a year or two. Then the depreciation will become appreciation (not that I care about that either).
BTW, John, sorry to see you leaving us. Best of luck with whatever you buy next.
