      Saab has a few future classics...

      Saab 900 SPG











      I think the Saab 9-3 Viggen will be a future classic that is currently dirt cheap.

        I know they've only been on the market for a couple of years now, but what about the BRZ/FR-S as a future classic? These are a real purists' car.....very few luxuries, mainly focused on the driving experience. Lightweight, compact, RWD, 6-speed box, LSD. The only 'fault' I keep hearing about them is the need for another 30-50 bhp to make it better.

          I've heard they a thinking about making a turbo version of the BRZ/FR-S If they did I think I'd have to find a way to get one.

            Absolutely. But if they sell too well they could just end up like Miatas, ie might not be worth much but still desirable. If they end up making an STi version it will definitely end up collectible.

              I know most of you hate anything Bangle related, but hear me out. The US-only 6-speed E60 M5.

              It's a comfortable V10 Sedan with 3 pedals! With all the engine downsizing, and fewer and fewer cars being offered with a stick, that's just never gonna happen again.

                I was reading and they are expecting the BRZ STI to hit showrooms in 2015. Its supposed to make 300hp.

                  There've been rumors of that since they announced the car. I really hope so, would be stupid not to.

                    Well the engine for it has already been made and in production for two other Subaru cars so it seems likely they will put it in the BRZ and make it a sti version.

                        I never knew it was US-only! I like driving manuals better than the yawn-o-matic SMG that come in those for sure. Save for launch control :)
