Tom,
Tom,
Your statement about 2nd Gen Tacoma resale value "dropping like a rock" is invalid regardless of how the new Tacoma performs against the other news trucks when it is released... I say this based on both Customer satisfaction trends with Toyota in general not to mention satisfaction history of the Tacoma line... PLUS the fact that even when the 2nd Gen was released, the 1st Gen initially saw little to no dip in new (old stock) or resale sales numbers. Toyota (and the Tacoma line) have a firm foothold in durability, reliability, customer satisfaction and resale value that CAN'T and WILL NOT be undone by ANY new contender in the segment... And I even really like the new Canyon. (but I'm nobody)
