Default "Will be" cars - Future Collecibles

There's a "has been" thread, just thought this would be fun.
What will become a classic, collectible, value appreciating car?
(REASONABLY PRICED)

my "timeless cars" of the future would be:

NOT REASONABLY PRICED
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F50
McLaren F1
Pagani Zonda
Bugatii Veyron
Jaguar XJ220
F430
Lamborghini Diablo
Koenigsegg CCX (or any model for that matter)

anyways...

RESONABLY PRICED
Honda/Acura NSX (timeless)
Dodge Viper GT-S or GTS-R
2007 Shelby GT500
E46 M3 CSL (I dunno, just something about it) <--- CSL (edit)
Mitsubishi 3000GT
Lotus Elise/Exige
Audi TT
s2000
RX-8 (maybe?)
Mazda RX7 (gorgeous still)
Toyota Supra (although lately, it's not been too hot)
Cadillac XLR (Caddy's first sports car?)
Lexus SC430 (I have a feeling about this one!)
Nismo Z Tuned R34
Acura Interga Type R

Maybe the specialty 911s such as the GT2 and GT3/RS

I don't think any of the cars you list (resonably priced) will be except maybe the Elise/Exige. The other cars are too common (IMO). Probably a dud car like the SSR will be collectible.

How about BMW M-Roadster/Coupe(Based on Z3)

They weren't produced in high numbers.

I think the M Coupe for sure.

Maybe the new T-bird or GTO (which was a dud)?

i know a lot of people hoping so at least because they are storing them in climate controlled garages instead of driving them

I would add the CGT too. The prices on used ones have been steadily rising.

Call me crazy, but I'd consider adding the CRX and NA (1st gen) Miata to the list. They're slowly getting harder to find and prices on a decent condition, reasonable mileage car seem to be increasing over the past few years.
