This increase was largely a continuation of prior trends, albeit at a more moderate pace, with 14 of Kelley Blue Book s 20 market segments moving in the same direction as they did in February 2009 (see page 3). Crossovers and SUVs were this month s winners, with value increases between 3-4 percent. Although the upward pressure on used-vehicle values, caused by falling supply, seems to be fading, any significant growth in consumer demand will renew that upward trend. Cars Overall, car values were relatively flat last month, with a small upward movement in most segments. Notable exceptions were subcompacts and hybrids (-1.8 percent and -0.9 percent, respectively), which face declining demand as fuel efficiency becomes less of a factor in the purchase decision. Additionally, sports cars dropped slightly by -1.3 percent, defying the typical seasonal uplift that normally takes place during the spring selling period. The most significant factor in the decline is the decreasing demand for an impractical third vehicle. Sports Cars The sports car segment is uncharacteristically down 1.3 percent as we enter the spring market. However, there are some exceptions. Traditional sports cars including the Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, and Mazda Miata are performing well relative to the rest of the segment. Luxury sports cars underperformed the market with BMW and Porsche models dropping sharply (5 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively), demonstrating a lack of demand for high-end, expensive sports cars. Kelley Blue Book expects this shift to more affordable alternatives to continue as buyers re-examine their budgets and the necessity for such vehicles. Luxury In the luxury segment, many Japanese models such as the Infiniti M35 and G35 have outperformed their more expensive European competitors. As economic uncertainty remains, we expect a continued shift toward smaller, more affordable cars. For example, consumers may go from a BMW 5-Series to a 3-Series, or out of the luxury segment altogether to keep costs to a minimum. Continued on Page 2. 1

MARKET ANALYSIS CONTINUED Trucks Pickups The performance of the pickup truck segments exemplifies the growing stability in the overall market. Full -size trucks were mostly flat, while mid-size trucks saw only incremental gains for the month. One factor helping to stabilize the segment is a lower volume of cars available at auction, which is offsetting the reduction in commercial demand, which stemmed from the decline in housing starts. Reduced demand coupled with an equal reduction in supply will continue to keep values relatively flat in this segment for the foreseeable future. SUVs The positive trend in SUV values continues (3.4 percent), as consumer preference for the vehicles improves; partially reversing last year s massive drops. While still lower than the gains realized in February 2009, these results show that the market for these vehicles has not yet reached equilibrium and may have some room to appreciate. The gains seen in the SUV segment were led by the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which outperformed the competition. The Trailblazer has been appreciating since the beginning of this year, rebounding from the heavy depreciation of 2008. Values in the SUV segment have been strengthened by an increase in demand, attributable to the current affordability of gasoline and reduced supply at auction. We expect values to stabilize in the near future as demand meets supply. Crossovers Most crossover segments improved last month (1.3-4.1 percent), although hybrid crossovers incurred the most depreciation of any segment (2.6 percent). Values in the crossover segment have been strengthened by a number of factors, including vehicle utility, affordability, and a reduced supply at auction. The gains in the crossover segment were led by the Ford Edge and Nissan Rogue. The Edge has appreciated since the beginning of this year, rebounding from heavy depreciation in 2008. The Nissan Rogue, a compact crossover, has gained on segment leaders (Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4), due to lower transaction prices for a relatively new model. Although values in the crossover segment have been on the rise, the overall equilibrium values are expected to remain near 2008 levels. This commentary focuses on Model Years 2005-2008. 2

RESIDUAL REPORT Industry Reaching Normalcy, Hybrids and Compact Trucks Report Better than Average - Eric Ibara, director of residual valuation consulting, Kelley Blue Book Consistent with the trend noted in February 2009, residual value forecasts for the next five years are stabilizing. The market is no longer experiencing the wild swings witnessed in 2008. Instead, Kelley Blue Book is forecasting 60-month residual values that, on average across all models, are down about five percentage points (based on each vehicle s MSRP) from a year ago, compared with a year-over-year decline of six percentage points recorded in February of this year. As an example, two segments that were at opposite ends of the gyration last year experienced the same year-over-year change. The average change in 60-month residual values for the compact sedan segment and full-size truck segment declined 4.9 percent, just under the overall industry average change. Most other segments also experienced average declines ranging from 4 to 6 percent. Segments that continue to exhibit better than average year-over-year depreciation include hybrid cars and compact trucks, which experienced drops of 1.5 and 1.6 percentage points, respectively. While hybrids benefited from extraordinary gains last year due to high gas prices, Kelley Blue Book did not increase their residual values commensurately as it was felt that the high prices were transitory. On the other hand, compact trucks did not fall as precipitously as their full-size counterparts. Continued on Page 10. All percentages are for the 60-month term and are expressed with the vehicle s MSRP as the base. 9

RESIDUAL REPORT CONTINUED An interesting note is that SUVs and crossovers (distinguished by their uni-body construction, from the traditional body-on-frame SUV), on average, are being affected in similar ways. The year-over-year decline for SUVs was 5.9 percent, while crossovers fell an almost identical 6.1 percent. The vehicles that continue to suffer the most in year-over-year change are in the full-size car segment. These vehicles, on average, posted a 9.8 percent drop, led by the Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300C, Volvo S80 and the Pontiac G8. Market Watch Below are the results from Kelley Blue Book Market Watch, measuring new-car shopper activity on kbb.com.
