that's a good point. Hadn't thought of that. In fact, that's probably the reason they went against all the focus group testing that probably told them to stick with conventional paddles, because they knew they had a loyal following of "Tippies". Finally, this makes sense to me know. thanks! oh crap, I'm hijacking this thread...

uh.....yeah I agree with the posters about the initial drop after purchase. Shouldn't a normal depreciation curve look like an initial steep drop then a slow asymptotic decline over time? (assuming there wasn't a major model change in there that causes a second steep drop?). Any subsequent drops would likely come from the new model change (2011). I would expect PDKs to hold their value better than other models because of it's superiority over tiptronic and even attractiveness to manual tranny users.
