Default Absence of Rice burners

During the Barrett-Jackson Auction, the question was asked as to why there were no Japanese cars on the block. I don't know who made the comment but it was to the affect that "yes, there could come a time when the cars (Jap) might make an appearance at the Auction, but it was doubleful that it will be in this millenium" Ha Ha!!
They said the cars "lacked soul" or something to that affect.

I was amazed at some of the cars that demanded the big prices.
I'm sure other people were amazed at interest in the 60's and 70's American cars that, just a few years ago, were overlooked.

My question is: If you had to pick, and hang onto, a Japanese car that you think, down the road a couple years, would also command the huge prices that American Muscle cars do today, what would you pick?

The Z cars were mentioned as a possibility- the first Civic-the Subra??

Any thoughts??
