I think just about everything will have SOME sort of collectibility to someone... while certain cars undoubtedly have more of a following than others, it seems regardless of what make, model, etc. something is, there is a die-hard following out there that will be interested in pristine examples

"Ricers" may be ridiculous to many here, but stock, well cared for '90s Honda Accords and Civics might just be valuable in twenty years. Just as '60s Chevelles and Camaros, Mustangs, Chargers, etc., were the cars to have among the high school set 20-30 years ago, "ricers" are the current cars to have in this demographic. Today's 17 year old Honda tinkerer will someday be in his forties, have some play cash to spend, and he'll go looking for the car of his youth: a '95 Honda Accord. No, it won't be the same as Yenko money is today, but few guys even knew about Yenko cars in the '70s. Most of us drove run-of-the-mill modified Camaros and Mustangs and Mopars, many of which weren't SS or GT or R/T versions. There will be a market for nice '90s Hondas and Mitsubishis, etc., in twenty years, just as there is a market for nice '60s musclecars today. No, you won't get rich stashing a Honda away as you would if you'd been smart enough to stash away an unmolested Yenko Camaro 25 years ago, but nice "ricers" will probably be desireable someday.
Remember that in the '60s when the factory musclecar really came onto the scene, many of the older roadster and dry lakes hot rod types scoffed at the new Detroit high-performance cars. They scorned the new Detroit offerings just as many of us scorn Japanese cars today. History repeats itself.
