A few thoughts...

First, I'm one of the "older" guys. Even so, I don't see a need to battle over age lines. To my fellow older guys I say, give the kid a break. I agree with him that this car is not exactly what I would call a collectable. Close, but not quite.

As suggested in a previous post, maybe in 50 years it will be but... What current car wouldn't be a collector's car 50 years from now? Even if gasoline is still the fuel of choice, in 2055 seeing just about ANY 2005/6/7 car then would be like seeing a '57 whatever on the road now. It's a collector car just because of age. (And frankly, I doubt gasoline will be the fuel of the future 50 years from now. Think hydrogen or electro-magnetic).

To the younger guys I say, give us older guys a break too. We just love the car and hate hearing anything that even hints of negativity regarding our precious babies, right or wrong.

For me, it's all about owning it, driving it, admiring it, and keeping it. Not for future gain, but for present enjoyment. I intend to keep mine a long time and if it's worth only $5K in 10 years, so be it. I know I'll feel like I got my money's worth out of it.
