Out of today's cars, which do you think will be classics in 30 years?
We all know that many cars from the fifties & sixties are strait up classics. Such as Camaros, Mustangs, Mopars, etc. So very likely the cars of today will be classics in 2034. But which ones? Excluding obvious choices such as Mustangs, Miatas, Camaros, Vipers, etc..
I feel strongly about 2g dsms such as mine. The stock lines are so elegant but with a touch of raciness(I made up a word!)that they are timeless. My car is almost seven years old & it still does not look dated to me. Other cars...lets see...Honda S2000s, Ford Probes(mark my words), GranPrixs, MR2s, Supras, RX7s, 3000GTs, 300zx & 350zs, and so on. Your turn.

the PT Crusier, The Skyline R34, Vipers, and RX-7s. Basicly anything that is nolonger in production (Skyline R34's) or will stop production due to people wanting to keep these rare god cars.

Did you say Miata???
Anyway, the new GTO, the Aztec because of its hideousness, obviously many exotics, and something high-powered like the CTS V?

None- the Classic car will doe- can anybody here honestly possibly want to restore a Ford Laser/Focus???? No- do people want to restore Populars/Anglias- yes- Why??? Because they have character.
However I do rate the Plymouth Prowler with a chance

I think fewer and fewer cars are going to be sought after as collectibles in the future. I think that Daewoo will be a collectible because of it's "orphan" status (in the same way that the Edsel and Yugo have become collectible) I think the weird cars are going to be sought after, such as Honda Insight, Toyota Prius and Echo.
And of course some cars will be collectible simply because they are made by famous companies, such as Porsche, Ferrari etc.

Even though the lightning is still in production I cant see it being to hard for it to not become sought after as well. My 2

1994-1996 Chevy Impala SS. It was already an instant classic the moment it came out of the factory.
2001 Mustang Bullitt, the 1 year-only special Mustang. Pontiac Trans-Am WS6. I have a strange feeling that the 5th gen Preludes (97-99) will be sought after. I agree with SuPeRcAr_MaN about the Miata too.

Re: Out of today's cars, which do you think will be classics in 30 years?
If you're talking cars still in production, here are my choices (all in production for the 2004 MY)
E46 BMW M3 Impreza WRX STi Evo VIII Neon SRT4 Audi RS6 Corvette Z06 Honda S2000 Pagani Zonda MINI Cooper S Most of the higher end "classics" are special models, as all above except for the S2000 are.

Re: Out of today's cars, which do you think will be classics in 30 years?
without a doubt...the McLaren F1 would be a classic along with the new Enzo Ferrari. others i think include the supra, skylines, 3000gt and the s2000.

Thats a pretty good question. I suppose it would depend on what kind of demand a car would have in 30 years. Also, will there be a market parts to be reproduced for restoration? Will people be willing to take the time to restore these cars? Gotta take all that into account. Which is why, like the old daily drivers from the 50s and 60s, most will be relegated to the junk heap. Some have made an impression on kids nowadays, who might want to restore the car they wanted when they were young and couldn't afford it. It depends on the types of kids, some want Mustangs or Camaros but can't afford them new. Some like import performance coupes, like the Celicas and Eclipses. I think those will probably be classics, just like the new GTO will be. I'm talkin affordable ones here. I don't know many adults who can afford even the older 911 turbos or Ferraris... though some people might save their pennies and dimes for one anyways.
