Actually...
I dont think any imports will endup being as rare or desirable as some of the Yenko, Motion, etc. but I think they will be on par with the mainstream muscle cars.

I am really not trying to be negative here, but as far as these "new" retro cars SSR, new GTO, SS anything, - I dont think they are going to be a big deal in 30 years. If anything maybe the ZL-1's, ZR-1's, GN's. GrandSport On the other hand, take stuff like the new GTO - GM takes the Holden, slappes a 50 cent badge on it and markets it towards middle aged males who owned them in their youth people barely want them now, in 30 years -nah. More marketing like slapping SS badges on everthing - AVEO SS - WTF? If Ford re-introduced the model-t in 1969, would they be a big deal today. The ZL-1's... I am a fan, but can you really re-invent the legend and its history... I think the only history they are going to have is Christensen at the track. Again - I am really not trying to be an Import Nazi or bash everything. Personally, in 30 years I hope to have my main Civic (b/c I am attached to it), buy a nice 69 Z, and have my grandfathers Model-A. Drive them all on weekends maybe even beatup some Retro-Ricers in the Motion. Who knows... will the EPA even let us drive these cars in 30 years or will they just end up in bubbles
