“A reason why the list consists of mostly American cars may be due to the fact that those cars don’t retain their value as well,” Phong Ly, CEO and co-founder of iSeeCars.com said. “Also, the percentage for Honda Civic may be lower because of its popularity – there are a lot more Civics on the market than there are Taurus.”
