Kelly Blue Book says the five brands with the best overall predicted resale values after 5 years are
1. VW 48.1%
2. BMW 45.6
3. Acura 45.4
4. Honda 45.2
5. Porsche 44.9
The survey excludes low-volume models and most vehicles with sticker prices above $60,000.
Does anyone doubt that Porsche is a middle class car? 
And you are a lawyer? How did you come to the conclusion that Porsche is middle class cars from that list?
For under $60k the only Porsche one can buy are Boxsters and Caymans and the Cayennes and that does not includes the upper ranges of those models, even the entry level ones have to be lightly equipped to be included, all models 911s are excluded.
Only conclusion I can see from the list is that the Boxsters and Caymans keep their value pretty good.
VW's entire model ranges are good on value, which is actually a surprise to me, same for Acura and Hondas but that's not a big surprise, the BMWs that can be counted are the Z4s and 3 series and since the 3s have always been regarded as a best in class car and are in great demand over the years the resale value is not a surrpise either.
A simple objection from a junior legal aid can throw your point of view out the court window 
Come on Nick, I know you can do better than that, gives us a better argument.
Read carefully my post. It indicates it "excludes low volume models" WHICH PORSCHE IS NOT and "MOST" vehicles with sticker price above $60,000. I do not believe Porsche was excluded because most of their cars are stickered above $60,000.
Porsches are the Lexus in the sport car field. Well built, reliable and good value. Nothing to be ashamed about. 
I did read carefully, the way I interpret your statement is:
Low volume models are excluded -> All Ferraris, Lambos, Maserati, Rolls, Bentleys, etc. depends on how one classify models, all the 911 variations could be all separate models, GT2 is low volume, GT3 is low, GT3RS is low, and depending on their cut off number, Turbo is also low, in fact, I thin k Porsche sells about the same or slightly more Turbos than Ferrari with 430s. So the only Porsche that are NOT low volume is the Boxsters, Caymans and Cayennes.
Most models over $60k -> all 911 Variants are over $60k so they are automatically excluded. Didn't say which models ARE included
1 + 1 = 2, so the survey is only valid for Porsche's low end models, the Boxsters and Caymans.
What else is there to be read? Did you post more alphabets in white color so I missed those?
You sure about the Lexus comparison? A lot of members here will disagree with the well build part, the reliable part and the good value part.
I actually thinks your 430 IS the Lexus of Ferrari, well build compared with just about any other Ferrari models, much more reliable than any other Ferrari models and definitely MUCH better value than the V12 models. Nothing to be ashamed of being compared with Lexus, nice Lexus Ferrari you got there Nick
