Chevrolet's electric Volt depreciates 58% in 3 years

Not surprising, but eh Ford Focus really turns to crap too.

"Despite all the hype and multiple Car of the Year honors, Volt retains only

I think these two cars could be pretty good metal but would still depreciate more than a more desirable mainstream car because of what they are, not how good they are.

They depreciate more because their initial price is more. Whoops that's wrong, according to this:

That would be about the time the Lithium battery needs to be replaced.

But given the Volts price, in dollars that is a lot of depreciation. At least a Focus with less than 1/2 the capital cost not only looses less in percentage, looses a whole lot less in capital. Less to go wrong too.

Lets face it.. no matter how good the Focus is, it is a car that, in a few years, will have very little interest on the used car market.

I have a lot of respect for what Ford has done.. But the Ford Feces is just not a car destined for history

I actually agree, that is why I own a true V8 F150.

But t least a Focus does not drain your pocket book like a Volt.

I thought Focus is mazda 3 with shittier (softer) suspension. Why is it feces to you? they could not have botchered mazda 3 all that much
