depends on domestic or import/sport compact

its a little harder now too though, cars are more mass produced now, there wont be as many "rare" cars either, other then exotics. plus cars nowadays are lasting alot longer.

there will be cars that will be use to describe waht was driven in the 1990-210 car era though...and then the term classic will depend who you ask

ask people in the sport compact scene and you will hear things about supras, rx7s, r34 skylines etc.....depending on how many get destroyed by ricers who blow the motors and wrap them around trees

ask any domestic driver and youll get your C5 corvette zo6, definitely last gen f-bodys but the companys nowadays arent coming out wiht any special packages for cars to make them rare, they jsut mass produce what sells(ala 05 mustangs)
back then there were really only one type of car market, but now there are so many niche groups that classic will definitely be hard to define.
