I am stating that I believe that (like the Land Rover Sport) in two years the Ghibli will have a strong residual which like the fullsize Range Rover in 2008 had zero impact on the Range Rover Sport. You can't factor in the QP.

Other fun facts on residuals...

BMW has 10 cars that are 2 stars
Now they do have 5, 3 star cars (including the M3).
