For me, a car never was an investment.
It was and still is, and always will be, a
toy to me, plain n simple.
If I wanted some sort of, (ahem)...investment, I'd buy an "appliance", like a Hyundai or Yota.
Hell, I think that the former still offers that 4 year guaranteed, trade-in value program, and a 10 year, 160000mile powertrain. There's your "investment" albeit still a lousy one.
