Re: RISMEDIA: at last a fair review!
Generally a very accurate and fair comparison. I don't quite know how it could be done in a manner to improve objectivety, but I think I would like to see a more "generic" comparision using a vehcile other than the Corolla. Like the Camry, the Corolla is so popular that it somewhat distorts the resale value toward the top end due to extraordinary demand relative to almost every other car in its class. It's not quite "apples to apples". (The same could be argued for the Prius, but it IS the only car in its class, except for possibly the HCH.)
A TCH to Camry (both top-end popularity mid-sized), or Escape to FEH (both top-end popularity SUV) would get nearer to the mark.
It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
