I believe the "collectability" of a car does not come from the design quality or uniqueness or any of that, i think it just comes from people thinking back to their high school years, what did they have the most fun in? They want that back, when the 2nd gen Camaros were being produced nobody thought twice about 1st gens, but when 3rd gens came out people started saying "man these are nice but my old 68' was hot back in high school" and so the 2 generation gap began and has remained. Im sure here in 10 years kids will be driving these cars, then 20 years after that they'll be saying "man these new cars are great but remember that old Camaro? Man we had some times in that"
Nobody ever thought the 3rd gens would be collectors items but hell look at the market, my 3rd gen was bought for $3000, just 2 years later now its a $6000 car and thats including price depreciation from added mileage and wear-and-tear from daily driver use. 4th gens will come along soon too.
So dont worry, your Camaros will definatly be collectors items some day. Especially for those of you who have those Aqua Blue ones, HOLD ONTO THOSE! They'll be rarer than any "special edition" GM has put out yet, save for maybe this year's Indy pace car. But not only will my generation idea catch up to them, but look at all the frenzy the cars have made. Whether people are willing to admit it or not the 2010 Camaro has become one of the defining factors of this generation. Just like the 70s had lava lamps and Trans Ams, this new generation has the Camaro. Its not only a collector's item, its a huge piece of history.
