I've recently shopped new coupes/sedans from Cadillac, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Mercedes. $50k doesn't get much. In the case of the 2SS 1LE you get premium performance

I get the performance aspect but you have to remember this is an SS that will be worth 30k in 2-years. The others that you mentioned will not take the depreciation hit like a Camaro SS will. Think about it this way average Joe walks into a dealership to purchase said Camaro SS plops 10k down and after dealer fees and T/T/L walks out with a monthly payment in the neighborhood of $800.00 a month, for a SS Wait 6-months and you will be able to pick up a 17 ZL1 for 55k.

Also I am not just dumping on the Camaro, the 2018 Mustang GT is just as bad if not slightly worse.

The others don't have bad resale?
Every single brand he mentioned is represented on this list, except for Audi(which surprises me, look up their prices used) and Lexus, which of course.

Sorry, that's not even close to true.

So you think that a 52K 2018 Camaro SS will hold its value better in 2 years with a brand new 2019 refresh coming within the next 6-months. Good luck with that one.

MotorTrend's Long Term Review 2016 Camaro

"Assuming 3 years and 42,000 miles total, Intellchoice projected our car’s value ($46,080 as-tested) would depreciate to $23,300 (trade-in) or $25,400 (private sale). Ouch. You really have to drive it like a grandma and decide to keep a 2016 Camaro SS a long time for it to make financial sense"

The Lexus RC 350 f-sport was the biggest the disappointment of all the cars I looked at. $50k for ~300 HP dog and the interior was shit compared to my 2SS.

No, a 50K BMW or Mercedes does not keep it's value anywhere near what you are claiming. Not even close.
