Being able to predict what cars will be classed as classics in years to come is a pretty handy skill to have. It’s a bit like being able to see what horse might win a race, but could leave you with a cool car to drive around as well as a big payout in years to come.
We’re no stranger to hearing about those enormous payouts when a rare car sells at auction and countless records have been broken for car sales in recent months. Heck, Bring a Trailer even reported that it sold more than a billion dollars worth of cars last year. But if you had to buy a car today that would be a certified classic in years to come, what would you opt for?
That’s exactly what we want to talk about today, the brand new cars that are on sale today and might become future classics someday. So, what have you got?
Maybe you know a guy that’s still got a few Jeep Wrangler 392s sitting on the lot. The final V8-powered Wrangler might be a model that gains value over the years and could be worth saving. Or instead you might think a limited-edition car like the new Miata 35th Anniversary model is something that will one day be considered a classic.
Personally, I reckon something in high demand like the latest GR Corolla would be a good car to bet on. The 2025 model packs awesome looks and even better performance into a pokey little package that’s unassuming but also the envy of anyone that passes by. If you can pick one of these up now, I get the feeling it’ll be a rare beast in years to come and the apple of many future car fans’ eyes.
But that’s just my suggestion for a car that could become a future classic, what would you choose? Head to the comments section below to let us know what car that’s on sale today you think will become an automotive icon.
