AquilaEagle Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 So what care that are around right now do you think will be future classics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Im gonna put my money on the bangle 7 series beemer. Its caused such an outrage, and must of hit BMW sales, but still, i reckon it will be a classic. Also, the saxo VTR/VTS. It instantly became the boy racers car of choice, but im sure it'll be recognised for the super little motor it was.

Ritey Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Clio V6 BMW MINI - possibly, if the success continues as with Editions Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn7y Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I take it it's everyday cars and not lodsamoney! No perticular order! 1)Focus RS 2)Clio V6 3)Corrado VR6 Hi-Line 4)Golf R32 and any other low volume high performance, high fun car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I agree with most of the above - Audi would also make the list with the RS4 joining the RS2 the only recent car which I think has brought something new to the table (other than the mini-MPV thing) is the Smart car - first city car that was fun and affordable. So this is one I think people will look back on as the start of something new maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Not sure about the R32 - Golf with a body kit....... agree witht he rest though. I also think there will be some others like perhaps: Merc SLK - first hardtop cabrio. Lotus Carlton - kind of started a trend TVR Cerberra/Chimera/Grif - last of the V8s New Beetle Cabrio - Inovative Roof design, move away from 'square' roofs (or is that rooves?). Lupo 3l - lightweight economical, aluminium/plastic construction in budget sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hmmm, not sure about some of them - especially the Lupo cos it's not groundbreaking in the looks department. My list (without thinking too hard) would be (in no particular order): 1. Saxo VTR/VTS 2. Ford Puma 3. MGF 4. MX5 MK1 5. Clio williams 6. Focus RS 7. Audi S3 8. Merc SLK 9. Bimmer Z3 mk1 10. Mini cooper S works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradeywalker Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I think one future classic will be the BMW ZM3 Coupe, unusual looking cars (I personally think they look fantastic) and quite rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURTON Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Lotus Carlton a Classic Already. Also A E30 M3 and E28 M5. The R32 will be a classic in the VW cricles but not much anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 The A8 will be a classic, due to the aluminium construction techniques used etc. The first M5, the Lotus Carlton - defo, the Porsche 928, BMW 6 (original), Audi 80 Convertible!

Omi Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Today's scene of grossly modifying quality and performance cars and/or thraping them to within an inch of their lives, means that any totally stock performance saloon on today's market, will become very desireable in the future. </2p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
