Who's whining rfellman? The fact is the incentives that Saab is now offering on 9-3's are unprecedented. When I leased my car in Dec. of 1999, the incentives on the remaining 99's were no where near what they are now. My point was that this "bargain basement" pricing is accelerating the depreciation of our cars.
You have some interesting ideas on why other cars (mainly high end brands)hold there value better than Saab. However, you neglected to offer your theory on why Honda's and Toyota's also hold their values well. Is it because most Americans are "morons"? Or is it because they are appealing vehicles for a lot of people and have a reputation for reliability?
True, all cars depreciate. However, you can't blame someone for wanting to minimize their losses.
Unless Saab's (i.e. GM's) margins are very high, I don't see how they can continue to discount their vehicles this way.
