Any car can look nice when it's new. LCs hold their value so well because everything in them is built to last. It's really not even debatable. There is a reason I can buy a 2007 LTZ Suburban for $14k ( LINK), but the cheapest 2007 LC within 500 miles of me is $25k ( LINK), and I'm fairly certain that price should be $35k based on the others.

I could give 2 rat shits about older models... OP was referring new ones... I own a 07 suburban and the '15 is light years ahead to the old models in technology, ride and capability.. as far as holding value that's has in part to do with availability.. Suburban vs LC manufacturing #'s is the reason..

I don't know what the ltz tahoe's initial price tag was, but I know the base model was around around 28k in 2007, so I'd estimate the LTZ was around 50k loaded. The land cruiser was closer to 60k. Seems like the value depreciates the same to me.

This is coming from someone who owns a tahoe and will probably not own another.
