Found this on Smartmoney.com

From the leaders list I'm surprised there's not a Mercedes on there while on the losers side I'm surprised the Jag XJ isn't on there.

I re-formatted the list but apparently I suck so the only domestic on the leader list is the Vette and every car listed 2nd, line per line, is on the loser list.

Leasing an XC90 is an option, as I have been aware that it has a 5-star depreciation rating. An option that I will take into account when I return the CL.

VW Phaeton was on the worst list. I guess it is no longer there as it will be history soon in the US. Also, the MB CLK used to be second place on the best; I wonder what happened this time, perhaps too many complaints

Who can ever figure out WTF VW was thinking when they manf'd the Phaeton? Especially since Audi makes the A8, crazy.
