Cadillac CTS named to have the Best Resale Value in the full-size car category

[D]

2009 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Award
Vehicle Category: Full-size car
Vehicle: The 2009 Cadillac CTS

All values based on the November/December 2008 Kelley Blue Book® Residual Value Guide.

The only other useful thing I got from the article is that an average vehicle today will only retain about 35 percent of its original value after a five-year period. What this translates to is that if you purchased a $50,000 new car today, it will only be worth somewhere close to $17,500 after five years.

As much of a Euro snob that I am, I can honestly say that I am glad that Cadillac is doing well these days – I just hope that GM doesn’t have to shutdown and take Caddy with them...

Does anyone know what the expected residual value of the CTS and CTS-V is these days?
