I agree that as paeople learn about them, they become more desireable. But even I doubt they will ever be worth a whole lot. Kinda like my first car, a FIAT spyder 850. Didn't pay much for the car when it was 15 years old, but I got twice as much for it when it was 35 years old.

I have to say... saw a Porsche this morning. The curves of the rear of that car looked very similar to ours. I am not saying it was identical.... but it was similar.
The way I figure it.... 20 years from now if given a choice between German sports cars, why would I want to drive a Porsche or even an SLK when there are tons on the road. I would rather drive a Crossfire because they are less common and they will attract more attention. Everybody knows a Porsche, Audi and Mercedes when they see one. I would rather get the kind of attention when people say "what kind of car is that".... rather than a "look at that old porsche". Nobody wants a tour of the interior and engine of an old Porsche. They already know what it is. Everybody seems to want a tour of the Crossfire.
