Wow....33% depreciation in one model year is pretty steep for a brand that usually has such high resale. :o ..... Is this unique to this model or is it a function of declining used prices due to our strong dollar?
My first ever GM ownership experience  can best be described as   "Fool me once...."

I've always thought it's interesting how these things garner less rage from the fuel-efficient-car crowd than Lincoln Navigators or especially Cadillac Escalades, when they don't make an ounce more sense.

What unites us is far greater than what divides us." -- John F. Kennedy, addressing Canadian Parliament.

I would assume because they are not as common, so they slip under the radar.
