The award is based on predicted residual value. Really, they could give the award to a car that hasn't even come our yet (not that they would, but the idea is the same).

Predicted resale value based on what? There's already a slew of '13 ltds on autotrader for ~$24k. I'd be shocked if you couldn't hop into a limited for $12k 3-4 years from now. Sounds like pretty normal depreciation to me.

I bet it'll be one of the top two front-engine rear-drive coupes below $30K.

You're predicting as well. No way to know. I'd wager that they wouldn't drop to $12k in 3 years.

There's not a single BRZ on the used market that I can find here in Calgary at the moment, hopefully that helps me when its resale time down the road.

Agreed. A good range to hope for is 45% - 50% value after 5 years and "normal" mileage. The first year depreciation is the worst, and then it tapers a bit for subsequent years. The Edmund's and Kelly Blue Book sites have useful depreciation tables for most cars that are interesting to peruse. |

What Subaru can be had for $12k within 3-4 years of it being purchased? Let alone one that retailed for around ~28k new. You must not look at Subaru resale value. I can't imagine the BRZ being any different in the long run, especially considering their limited production and relatively high demand.
