Well perhaps it's a question of having or not having the proper information. Some of us are totally immersed in "new car knowledge" and others may not have the time to accumulate information on everything that's out there or how it performs.

most camrys sold are 4 cylinders, of course those buyers would not consider a buick or caddy for FE reasons, as well as cost of the vehicle.
 
When you ask a corolla owner like myself if I'd like to upgrade to a buick or caddy. Sure, if someone would pay the price difference and additional fuel costs. But then, many 1-2 yr old buicks are priced close to a brand new corolla. If i need to haul 4 people ALL the time and live where distant highway travel is common, I would definitely get the buick. Nothing beats the 3.8 on mile after mile of boredom.

Well the 3.6 is relatively "new" to me as it's been out for 4 years or so. The LaCrosse CXS has this engine.

I dunno if it's good or bad news for gm fans. There are 2yr old 25k mi lacrosse with leather, sunroof, trac.pwr seat, alloys... and the 3.8 listing at $16k, less if you haggle. My friend has a 06 cxs and it rode great, interior finish is top notch, yet the resale value is sooo bad.
 
for the same price, you can get a just as boring 2 yr old camry LE 4 with hub caps, mouse fir/rental car interior close to 40k mi.
 
what gives?

Desirability, or the lack thereof. For the money, more people would rather have a plain Toyota than a nice starter coffin.

at the results also. There was no way the Cobalt could have cleaned up compared to the Fit. (which I voted for)
 
I was also surprised the CTS won over the BMW 3-Series, even though I voted for the G35.
 
I was surprised at the STS, but not surprised at the Acadia and Aura, as both are excellent cars.
 
The GM vans placing ahead of the Sienna was very mysterious. There is no way those old vans could place second overall...
 
I have a feeling GM stuffed some of the ballot boxes.
