Another dumb list. I disagree with all the cars that have 4 doors. I also disagree with the S2000. The others are relatively limited edition cars (yes so is the S2000 but it wasn't overly expensive) so I see them simply being garage queens. The list of classics I would be more interested in are the cars like the old Roadrunners and Chargers which were often ignored 10 years after they were built but now 40 years later are classics. I think the Z8 will be a classic in part because it didn't make as big a splash as the supercars on the list. It was unique and I think it sold below expectation.
I will guess the Solstice Coupe will be a future classic because it really is a very rare car. It's production numbers were exceeded even the likes of Ferrari.
Really, it will be hard to say what will be a future classic but I think that list was just some random list of "cars I like".

look at what ths clown wrote
"AND . . . one of the lesser Corvettes (2009) was not a Corvette year; AND a sad little Honda??? You guys haven't a clue nor a clue bag to put your clues in!!!"
a lot of hate for the S2000, some good guys defending it, but people are nuts, can't deny the S2000 was a engineering marvel at the time, and pretty to look at too

I think some of you are confusing classics with collectibles. A car does not have to be rare to be a classic, it just has to have some cult appeal and stand out in it's generation. A mint VW Beetle is unquestionably a dlassic car, even though they made millions of them, which means its value as a collector's car exactly dick.
On that note, I think the S2000 as a whole is a future classic, if not an instant classic.
