I hope you enjoy this weeks episode. I've tried to include some alternative designs that don't immediately spring to mind when making a list of this kind. I'd love to hear what cars you think are in the category of 'Future Classic'! Let me know below which cars you think are worth getting hold of (if you don't mind sharing your tips!).

Enjoy!

Could you make an episode of the cars you've owned?

[justamanchimp]

The s2000 already is a classic. The prices are going through the roof as we speak! And the early 2000s Civic type R's.

Where is the Multipla, Frank? WHERE IS IT?

So glad he mentioned the Alfa Romeo Brera. I instantly loved that car when I was playing NFS Carbon as a kid. It's a timeless design

[dragospahontu]

Finally cars that normal people can buy 😅

[sohailmunir]

Audi TT Mk1 is a future classic for sure.

The Fiat Coupé is also a unique, timeless and beautiful design that deserve to be in a future list.

[IceDree]

Boy oh boy the Z4 Coupe's design was controversial back in the day, but man, it stood the test of time and people came around to it.

Spot on with the Z4, E38, S2K & Berrara. I'd add the TT, E46 ZHP & R129 to that list.

Quite happy with my C6, seeing as I only paid £750 for it! Two years down the line, values on them have dropped further, though I can't see how they'll drop much more. They only made 23, 000 of them. The number surviving in the UK is in the hundreds, and less than a thousand ever found homes here.

I love it, it feels so special.

Glad to see the CR-Z finally getting some love on this site. The design of the dashboard still outclasses some cars 10x its price. I'd also say that while the current Mazda 3 (2019-) isn't yet cheap enough to make this list, it's certainly a future design classic. With its shoulderless flowing silhouette and the funhouse-mirror-esque side panels that bring the surface to life once in motion, Mazda has found a style that is truly unique without being garish or overly aggressive like so many other automakers. The rear light signature is very recognizable and truly fitting for a cute little rounded out city car, while also giving off an air of precise performance. The interior is elegantly and thoughtfully crafted with the controls and infotainment feeling effortlessly integrated into one continuous piece of sculpture. And on top of its excellent design, I think that in 10 years we'll look back on it as Mazda's first step into moving upmarket, giving it historical significance as well. And I'm not just saying all that because I own one...😉

literally during this video I went online and searched for the Opel GTC to see what the offers are in my area - this car looks gorgeous, along with Alfa Romeo Brera... and I kept looking around until the video in the background was coming towards the end to the honorable mentions, and I almost dropped a tear when I heard BMW e38 7 series as I own this car and want to sell it... but I just can't, my heart is not that strong.

MINI Hatch years 2000-2006. This design captured the spirit of 'Cool Brittania' at the end of the 1990s. It was inspired by, but not a pastiche of the original. It remains a charming design after all this time. It is both at once Brit pop, and Savile Row.

[Meeswijnants]

No way! I’m actually picking up a CR-Z today!

For my job as an architect I needed a reliable, affordable and economical daily driver. But I wanted something interesting, relatively unique and quirky, so CR-Z!

Thanks Frank for this ‘stamp of approval’!

[Challenger]

Wow I'm so glad that you've mentioned the Astra GTC VXR! Absolutely love the look of that car with its connecting lines around the car and the raw power to back it up. It feels like such an under appreciated car design wise.

[TorkildKahrs]

Was surprised the Brera didn't show up un the Alfa video. Glad to see it here.

[LevPicaresco]

I'm glad you included the Brera, because that is a masterfully designed automobile. Thanks.

[dppopov]

Here we go - BMW Z4 E86 owner here... Best toy I have ever bought!

[MrRodBraga]

The new Toyota Yaris GR is already a future classic. Run and buy one now! Trust me.

Honor place: new Suzuki “Gmini” ! Might be small and rough, but it will hold its value well!

[SSVladi]

That feeling when your car design taste matches the taste of great car

Thank you so much Frank! Great Channel!!!
