What modern day cars will become "classic" cars in 40-60 years?

celica

Ford Aspire

I would be surprised if ANY cars being made these days will LAST 40-60 years!

The H2... because the repackaged trailblazers will fall apart and, if by some miracle they survive 10 years from now people will be so embarassed they actually bought one (once they realize how stupid they are) that they will set fire and destroy all H2 in existence...

 

[Rent]

96 Impala SS
Bluebird T/As (30th Anniv. TransAM)
35th Anniv. Camaro SS
Integra Type R
S2000
FC RX7
MKIV Supra
Current 350Z
R34 Skyline
B22 Impreza
Fox302 Mustang
Lightning MKII
MR2 Turbo MKII
Grand Nationals

Probably think of a few more if I took some more time :Q

The Marauder is a joke, it wouldn't even be considered a classic.

5th Gen Honda Prelude (stock form)

Can you "elaborate" no0b, or are you a n00b?

SVT F-150 lightning, presumably. I go for the dodge, though, with the manual transmission
If Ford would think, they'd offer a manual as well.

They do, I have an F-250XL manual.

They're Suburban chassis and I don't doubt the drivetrain will last that long. More a question of the rest of the car.

No japanese car will ever be a classic.

 

[TechnoKid]

most all RWD cars, imo. I see a lot of cars are going awd or fwd these days, technology makes it (awd) lighter, more compact, and the same fuel mileage as current cars. Although, the FWD drive platform cannot take as much power as these companies are now competing in, the new acura TL is pushing close to 300HP on a FWD...thats a lot imo.

There are a few that already are.

240z
510
2000GT

Heck the Trueno AE86 may become a classic.

What I meant was: They will never sell for large $$$ on a Barrett-Jacksson Car auction.

Fair enough. Though the 2000GT in reasonable condition fetches easily over $100k on the open market now. We're not talking millions of $, but it's still good money.

At the time, I believe they went with auto b/c they didn't really have a proper 5/6 speed tranny for that much power, and that traction/launching was easier with the auto. Go to F150online.com and you'll see very few people who want a 6 speed in their L, bone stock or JDM/JLP enhanced. SRT-10 owners are realizing now just how hard it is to put that much power down to the ground with the 6.

Definitely the Elise. GTO I'm not so sure about. Its not even popular now!

The GTO will be very rare and have lots of power still even in the future.
