BMW Z cars are today's version of the Jag XK roadster series from '60's.
Totally cool, ultra responsive and styled. These cars will retain their
value and will have parts available in 40 years, same as the jags. The
Miata will be like the MG Migit. Both will be perfectly fine collector
items, just different ends of the spectrum. Too soon to say about the
Toyota and Honda, but as a step up from the Miata, and a step down from the
BMW/Jag, they might be comparable to the TR3/TR4 series?
'Course, that assumes we have fossil fuels in 40 years and are not driving
Morgan [geldings] with a fuel economy of 15 mpb (miles per bale). [Me, I
was hoping for a contemporary automobile that ran on human sewage sludge,
but found that Chevrolet already produced them.]
