ok well most sports car lose there value but wrx and STi sorry to say yes they are popular but those car hold there value pretty damn good all subarus for that matter do. I bought an 03 EVO for $22K I wanted an STi origanally untill I found out how badly designed the internals are. ok a 03 STi with higher miles than my car was still going for $28K when both the EVO and STi retail the same price, and on the other side of that the ultiment sport car the MKIV supra I see those things holding value pretty well. I am a huge supra fan I know all the colors and how many were made in each color per year and in suto vs manual. A 1997 TT 6spd still sells for mid $30s with desent miles on it and retail it was $46k And if you mod the supra forget it I have seen many of them single upgrades and all sell for $70k and I have seen a hand full for over $100k for a ten year old car, gotta love the supra.

Now about Mitsu owning the GS.. Well that is not exactly true either it is half in dodges hands there. the 4G64 motor is in stratus' and sebrings. Either way the MIVEC GS is a sellers point for people who cant pay for the real thing. The GS is you drive it is slow as dirt it has the worst accell. I mean 160 crankhp is like around 115 WHP now add on the 3300LBS do you think that car will get up and go? Test drive both and the GT will win you over. Its a brand new car all you gotta do is play the dealers against each other. My parents bought a car that was stickeres at $28k for just under $20k that is amazing and all they did was play the dealer the same way that they try to play you

Play by these rules and you will always win http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/dealers.html

the reason that supras hold their value is b/c they are no longer made and they were made by one of the best automotive companies in the world.

I was makeing a point thats all. SRT4s are discontinued but they wont go up in value.

Not to mention the supra has one of the stongest bottom ends out there it is even stronger the the Skyline. Supras can handle over 600WHP daily on the stock bottom end. I have seen a dyno of 900+ on the stock bottom end and it lasted 6 months of dailydriveing before he built it up.
