When you see a car like this one, you use the word "Classic" to describe it right???

What cars do you think will be considered "classics" 40 years from now?

Post pics fellas.

Thats a tough one and really depends on people like us, what we want to restore r garage for the next 30 years, is a Toyota Camary ever going to be a classic, not likely, but what about the SVT Mustang Cobra R. Only 300 built! Its going to be a lot different, back then there were the big 3 plus AMC. Now there are at least 10 big car makers available here in Canada.

meh, the svt focus is going to be disregarded like the Neon RT and the Escort GT.

not enough substance.

I'd say the SRT-4
STI
EVO 8
DSM's
CRX
New GTO
300C


i can see car and driver doing specials on those cars 20 years from now, they seem to be the biggest cars of our (current) generation

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.

Anything that is classic and worth looking at has a V8. I don't think that will change in the future. So saying the SVT , Neon, etc. will be a classic in the future doesn't hold substance to me. Cars N/A made will be in high demand with the odd nutbar that wants another civic rice-a-ronied to the max.
