Is the 5th Gen destined to become the next 4th Gen?

With the 6th Gen out on the road, the value of the 5th Gen cars is falling. Is it just a matter of time before there's a bunch of kids driving these cars, not maintaining them properly, beating them up cosmetically? Will some of these gorgeous machines eventually become beaters like the many beater 3rd and 4th gen cars that we've all come to see?

All Camaro's are destined to be cheap cars that some high school kids will eventually get as a birthday present

Every Mustang ever made is very cheap in 5-10 years time barring the early years. Just drive it and enjoy the car.

All mass produced cars end up that way.

You mean a rounded huge minivan windshield inspired car that you can't see the hood, just ugly wiper arms, when driving it? I sure hope not.

I think the 5th gen will be a classic someday and highly sought after. Heck, I think
it already is from the beautiful 1st gen inspired retro style.

Yes. I see younger people driving classic Mustangs all the time. I drove my Chevelle all the way through high school until I started restoring it. I know a few guys my age that drove classic cars when they were under 18.
