CNN Money: 16 best resale value cars. BMW X5 35d under Hybrid Alt Fuel SUV.
 

I think the playing field in this category is pretty small. Maybe a Hybrid Tahoe and/or Escape, Mercedes ML/GL and that's about all I can think of. Still - good publicity for the X5.

How did they get the 214s on the diesel....

I seem to recall someone on this, or another, message board telling everyone that the resale of the X5 Diesel was going to be very poor. I guess things change....

C'mon Penguin. How would anyone know. The poster was likely the same one that said the 2010s would have the X6 Bumpers.

Looks like CNN posted the winners from KBB's site:
2010 Best Resale Value Awards - Kelley Blue Book
The X5d won it's category.

The Lexus IS was the "Near-Luxury Car" winner :rofl::rofl:

Diesel vehicles always had a higher resale value over gasoline.
Now that diesel is even more green, it should be better resale value
