With the way manufacturers are down sizing engines...going from a normally aspirated 6 or 8 cylinder to a 4cylinder turbo, I reckon any compact sports car fitted with a large capacity engine will gain a classic or at least a cult status. As every manufacture now seems to go down the route of using smaller capacity over-boosted 4pot, the noise, throttle response and off-idle torque on almost every mondern car is a bit poo.

The drive to improve economy and make cars co2 tax friendly has ruined a lot of marques...I mean if you were that concerned about carbon tax and economy you wouldn't buy a AMG 55 , would you? Ford binning their 2.5 five pit is another one..the old ST will be a classic just for the engine. Crying shame it was FWD only, even when the chassis was designed to take AWD (Volvo/polestar actually did a AWD prototype using the same chassis and engine). It will be a classic though, well if any are left...they all keep getting nicked round here!

 

^^^ That!

 

Pretty much what I said.....
Enjoy..
And don't forget it has the economy when wanted, as it will run on 4 pots...

 

What about the MK4 golf R32?? anyone think it could be a future classic???

 

Yes, very much so. IMO.

 

Porsche 944 already a classic but prices will rise soon I think, already mental for turbo.

I seriously think Honda S2000's will shoot up soon also.

Personally I think the classic car bubble is about to, or has already popped.

Things don't seem to be selling as well, from what I can see on forums, and Brexit will definitely not help matters (or maybe, if you get foreign buyers buying RHD cars because the pound is stuffed).

 

If this ever happens I don't think this will help classic car sales
