Accord LX V6 retains value because nonessential options depreciate like mad, but Americans lust after V6 models... especially Honda's smooth V6. Sure, I'd rather contemplate a 4-cylinder EX, but I'm a tool for sunroofs and alloys, not a stripper with nasty wheels. Sorry, GM, I'm not a customer.

Infiniti got back on the scene with the G Coupe. They need to replicate the "Coupe d'Etat" across the lineup... still hasn't quite happened yet.
