when I bought my GTA 4 years ago I had been looking at a BMW clubsport 3.L. It was sitting at over 30K the Alfa with better options was at 24K. The man at BMW went on about the Clubsport holding its value etc and he was right. It would be worth about 50% in 3 years. The Alfa would hold about 40%. But the BMW was costing me £6k more. When I saw and heard the 147 GTA it blew the BMW out of the equation. The finances also made the decision a no brainer. So depreciation is in the eyes of the beholder so to speak. Who out there would have chosen the clubsport over the Alfa. I am still counting the money I saved.
