What car of today will our kids desire enough to pay big dollars for when they are our age?

Certain Shelby Mustangs? Corvette Z 06's? GTR's?

Scarcity does not always equate to future value, but mass production certainly does not either.

I expect it partly depends on what is available in 30 or 40 years and there is no way to know that. If quality continues to improve as it has over our lifetimes the cars then should be fantastic.

I come across that question often and still say if you like it drive it and don't worry about appreciation. I like what Leno stated about Vipers. How many offers he gets for low mileage ones that are garage kept because they thought it was an investment. Not to much has caught my eye in the last 25 years. One of my favorites is still the F1. Some like the Buick GNX or Grand National.

The Lexus LFA was made between year 2010- 2012. Showroom price $450,000 U.S. dollars. So in 30 years, this car will sell for double, triple, or break even?

You ever play the game The Run? A few years ago a young boy was playing this and I had to stop and watch for a second. As I left I sort of was talking to Cozy in the great beyond and said this generation plays games and we use to do the real thing.
