Why my resale value is so low~!

Funny thing about that. Remember last year's article in Car and Driver, comparing the 8 to four other cars? In the summary chart, I don't think the 8 came up on top of any category, and was probably bottom in some. Yet the editors picked the 8 as their favorite.
Just goes to show that editors at a major car magazine know something about cars, beyond the numbers.

On the track, the Mazda couldn’t make up for its woeful lack of torque and posted the slowest time around the circuit. But just as on the street, the RX-8 inspires confidence in the driver to carry more speed through the corners, and the challenge of maintaining velocity in this car is ultimately more rewarding than relying on the gas pedal in the others to make up for your mistakes. That’s not to say some extra power isn’t sorely needed here — it is — but even at the ripe old age of five, the RX-8 pleases us the most."

I look at it from the other direction: there's no better value among nearly new sports cars. The Mazda RX-8 has a unique engine and body, handles amazingly well, and can be purchased for around $20k. And the insurance cost isn't high, either.
Of course, if people really realized this, the price would go up...
So I'd say a big part of the problem is awareness.
