The next 205 Gti. Mk1 Gti. Renault 5 turbo. what's next ?

Is there any way of guessing what will be the next 205 Gti , the next Golf Gti, these cars can now fetch 10k and we may well of owned a few ! Can we guess trends ? From the little I know about cars I'm guessing that classics become classics for a few reasons one of which is nostalgic, you owned a Gti when you were 18. We're now all a bit older and in a position to maybe have a toy tucked away, maybe in your 40s and you want what you had when you were 18 ! The good memory's and so on.
Is this how it works? What will the next generation be choosing ?
I've got a lovely little 106 Rallye tucked away. Not worth a great deal now but will it become a 10k car. I hope so as I need something towards my pension !!!!!
SO WHAT CARS ARE THE NEXT FUTURE CLASSICS ???

10 k for the Rallye !! Have to keep an eye to see if it sells.
I suppose any hot hatch that is pretty standard with less than 100 k miles is a good start. I see 190 2.5 16v with 80k going for 15k plus. It's all gone mad.

My Dimma has 54k so maybe solid investment in years to come.

M-cars. Turbo jap cars. Audi/Ford/Renault RS cars.

Agree. A non modded supra. Maybe a totally standard early skyline

The Citroen Saxo VTR and VTS models are a good shout. They have the same recipe as those 80s hatches mentioned - sold in large numbers but rapidly dwindling, but immensely popular in its day. This will give the nostalgia factor that will lead people to look back at them in the future. Same with the EP3 Civic Type R.

Golf mk4 R32 will never lose all its value and probably start going up now. Golf mk5 gti will eventually hit the bottom, numbers will thin out and then start going up again.

Fiat Coupe?

Fiat coupe ! not sure what they are fetching these days, an earlier post said Renault Clio Williams again not really hit big heights, not sure if they would. The R32 is a good shout though, maybe they will go crazy like the mk1 RS Focus has now.
