Another question to ask is this: of all of the cars from the 2000-2010 era, which ones could really become collectors items? I would say the z4m is on that list. But many would say the same about the Pontiac solstice coupe. Who has one of those sitting under cover in their garage? Not me!
I can't think of a single car that, like art, became more popular post-humously; could one of you cite an example?

As for the Slstice coupe, maybe not you but pretty much everyone else has them sitting in a garage, dreaming of the day millions of people will want a car no one wanted when new. I think they'll be hugely disappointed, but they're out there.
