I think pogo sticks are cheaper than Unicycles. I don't see how the springs should fail, (especially under warranty if applicable) unless one weighs as much as an elephant.

...After awhile, these Yahoo"News-like" lists get pretty thin, imo.

Forbes used to be a mag worth reading on occasion; that "article" reads
like it was cranked out by a summer intern during a butt break.

Forbes.com...a shadow of its former self.

"Clunkers"?! Let's see how many times we can use the word clunker
in future articles.

Clunker is now the new catchword. Bailout was the word for the first six months of the year.

Stimulus. Don't forget "stimulus".

So...if I could pick up a used M5 under warrantly without a big chunk of the depreciation, would it still be a clunker?

Where is the last model BMW 745 on that list. I'd expect it to be #1 or #2 considering all the bugs when introduced. After-all, when you need to replace something as simple as a window regulator you need to introduce it to the rest of the car via software integration. That process alone takes several hours I'm told.
