Those who buy german cars have money to throw away...

Not really, if you consider the depreciation loss on a German car is about 10% per year avg., while an American car drops 25-53% in it's first year. Who's throwing their money away?

You obviously don't work in the car business. Go trade in a first year German car. Bring a shovel for your casket. : )

Not really...... Have you compared the maintainance cost between the Japanse or American cars with the German cars? The depreciation costs you mentioned of course is in percentage of original cost, right? So how does the ownership costs (in $) of the german cars compare with American and Japanese cars?
