I would bet my left nut that they will be come classics. Especially with the big V8's and HP they are putting out. Keep in mind the world is changing. The world is running out of petroleum, prices are only going to go up up up and one day people wont be able to afford to drive cars like these on a daily basis. As the world evolves into more efficient ways of doing things to help the planet and our wallets...until they figure out hydrogen and can market and regulate it....petroleum cars like the Camaro, mustanger, Challenger, will be a thing of the past and their value will only go up when cars like those wont be made anymore with petroleum engines. Even if petroleum engines are still mass produced in 50-70 years, these cars value will still go up just as it was mentioned earlier.

Too soon to say, the reason why the above cars are classified as classics is possibly because they have a long line of history behind them. The g35 is fairly a recent car in comparison to the Mustang, Camaro, etc. I think the 350z has a better chance at being a classic then the g35.

Probably won't be a "classic" but the ones that make it 20 more years will most likely be collectible.

I'd say we have about the same chance of becoming classics as a Lexus sc. We aren't as rare (or awesome) as a skyline or a supra.
But technically all 25+ yr old cars can be titled as a classic. I know I'll have a big **** eatin grin on my face if I see a really clean G in 2030.

Here's the 1st problem, since when is the WSJ an authority on anything automotive? Thats like reading an article in Field and Stream about nuclear fusion...
Doubt it. Those 3 abominations they made to resemble the 60s and 70s versions will never become classics. You watch Barrett or Mecum, the 60-70s muscle cars will ALWAYS be considered classics. The "big 3" are falling far behind, especially if they cant even come up with new vehicles, you have to take designs from 30 years ago and "hip" them up and hope for increased sales(cuz having 15 different models of basically the same SUV isnt working for them either). Personally I think the new Camaro is one of the ugliest cars on the road today.
Thats like saying todays music will eventually become "the oldies"... not gonna happen either.
Not gonna happen, ESPECIALLY, not in the U.S.
