You sir are a man of taste, you deserve truffles and champagne for this comment. -Fist bump-

I just call mine Stacy but on occasion god, I think either name would work.

It's affordable, in Canada you can get one for under thirty thousand now, though the Acura might not make it, but its steroid filled brother, the NSX Type-R would definitely take the status of a classic without having to even try. This is a legend and the right model is already in classic territory.

It has been rumoured that Mazda is already working on a new rotary, but in combination with a hybrid system. Either way, this car is pretty much seen as the bane of the RX series by many people and a poor replacement for the previous RX-7, it would be pretty difficult to see it getting to classic status.

The AWD Turbo version would definitely be a great candidate, though it can be argued that it already is a classic and its value is on a positive trend as it is. I've always wanted to drive one, hopefully I will get a shot one day.

This car has potential, but that is rather borderline potential as it really isn't that unique in terms of innovation (just mass production). You have the Tesla roadster, the Honda Insight and first generation Prius to contend with, which would become classics before the Volt, with the Volt perhaps gaining this

They cost about $35,000 in Canada and the price is just going up for a six speed manual, these are not going to become classics in the future, they already are and have been so for several years. These are great cars with a strong demand, heck they are worth even bringing in from Japan with the tariffs and so on, you

Won't ever happen, these things are as plentiful as sand on a beach and their prices are just dropping every day. From fleet vehicles to the vehicle of the elderly, this car can be found for under a thousand dollars on the lot of any shady dealer, these won't ever become classics. There is no limited production, no

They are already recognised collector cars, so it might make the list, but that would be cheating. Several insurance companies already cover these cars as collectors, they are worshipped as automotive gods in Japan and within the drifting community, while anyone who owns one can already get over five grand for one

I agree with you on this, a stock Type-R with Honda white and at the most a factory installed Mugen ground effects kit (which apparently was a factory option often taken from the JDM Honda dealerships) is a rare find and an incredible buy for a classic Japanese car. The kit might be a point of debate, but it was a

This is a great choice, if you can find one that hasn't been rap.. I mean "pimped" to the point of making the average ricer want to poke out his own eyes. These are great little cars and due to their rarity, I have seen them rising in price already, actually for the past three years or so in Canada at least.

There are a number of Japanese collectibles and they have been increasing over the years, the Toyota 2000GT is often considered the first of the Japanese collector cars. The NSX Type-R is also now considered a highly collectible and extremely rare car, with others such as the 240Z/Fiarlady/S30 I would agree with as

This one is a great choice, it is already considered a classic BMW and is already starting to creep back up in price, depending on the exact model and year. I would say that it would have to be the V12, as the V8 was merely a lower trim level of the car and just not as impressive, a twelve cylinder engine is always an

I would have to say the Lexus SC400/Soarer 4.0 GT, this is the first Japanese V8 coupe and the car that helped launch the Lexus brand. Not only that, it was one of the first cars to offer a GPS system, active suspension and an ECT transmission that learns how the driver prefers to control his/her vehicle, with all of

There is hope... They are actually making adapter plates and whole kits to stick a R154 and even better, there are also kits to stick a V160 on the car with little work. The hardest part is installing the clutch pedal and adjusting the shifter (which I have full colour documents for, step by step guide). The car

The blocks aren't identical, but the technology found within the 1UZ is what was incorporated into the 2JZ. I didn't mean to imply that they simply hacked off the two remaining cylinders in an attempt to create the engine, but that what they learned with the development of that engine (which has been estimated to have

Not at all and I don't blame you, I am going to take up Forza as well (as I mentioned), as long as the next-gen system has an appropriate wheel.

Really?

Or cars from outside Japan.

But they are still missing the Skyline, you know, that Skyline, the one that weighed 1oz more with gold paint, instead of Midas chrome paint. I think we will get more variety when hell freezes over, at least we have over 1000 cars to play with and only about 200 of them are Skylines, with about 100 Silvias and Miatas
