Love me the Daimler SP250. Terrific car.

I don't disagree that the Silver Arrow Mercedes bring significantly higher value. I just question why they do. For me, silver/gray color has had its day, and having that both interior and exterior compounds the boredom. Maybe that's just me.

A respectable list IMHO. For my taste, the Subaru SVX and the Lexus SC are ones I would consider. I would add the Mercedes SL's (R129 and R230) and the SLK mentioned by other commenters. I might consider the Toyota MR2, but not sure I would fit in it!

At first, I wondered why a guy continuously writes about cars that he hates. Then I read that he is a Karl Rove fan, and it all made sense.

What about people who want something a bit nicer - quieter, more comfortable, more performance more features? I don't see it as an unreasonable choice to go for a luxury compact/mid-size SUV. Lots of people agree with me.

I don't get the compact/midsize SUV hate. For single people or couples with no kids who need to carry significant cargo from time-to-time and want to be safe in snow, they seem like a perfectly reasonable choice. What should these people drive? 911's?

I owned several older Nissan trucks. They were fun, reliable, useful. Also owned a FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser - underpowered but still fun, reliable, and useful.

The rounded body is a modern take on the original 190/300 SL roadster. I like it!

This is a pretty good list. I would add the Nissan 300zx twin turbo and the Mercedes R129 (SL500 or even the 600).

That was my thought, as well. I see the range of cool vehicles that Studebaker made and I cannot understand how they failed and Chrysler survived.

Interesting thought. I bet a GM EV! would be worth something now if you could have saved one from the crusher.

These are good choices. I think the Alfa is already entering the collectability market, based on Bring a Trailer auctions. The FJ Cruiser is pretty much already there, as well.

Rob, you are a man after my own heart. Sadly, I recently had to downsize my collection due to a move to a condo. The idea of renting garage space sounds appealing, though.

Jack, please commit to re-publishing this flat-earth article in 10 years. Then we can all appreciate your Nostradamus-like ability to view of the future. BTW, there is this thing called "global climate change" which threatens to make the planet uninhabitable for our grandchildren. Do you have a solution for that which allows for endless burning of fossil fuels in the transportation sector? And a quick note - few coal-burning power plants remain, and their days are numbered. Economics killed them, as much as environmental regulation.

Many good choices here IMHO. Top of my list would be the Aston, Jag, and Land Cruiser. Never a fan of the Audi - of its direct competitors (Boxster, BMW Z3/4, Mercedes SLK), I would put the Audi last. Would a moderately tall person even fit in it?

Well, I thought my story about a Daimler SP250 was pretty good, but it pales in comparison to your story.

Wow, this article really brought out the Trumpers. Chrysler has aggressively marketed to the redneck market for many years. That's just the way it is.

Excellent gentleman's cruiser. Sure, they have their top hydraulics issues, as Porsche has IMS bearings and BMW has subframe cracks. If you want to own a classic luxury car, there is a price of admission. For the R129, that price is not unreasonable, in my opinion.

Terrific article - comprehensive and perceptive! Still lots of whining from the dinosaurs, but the results have absolutely been worth it. Now, one could certainly question the current regulatory structure - two Federal and one state agency all doing essentially the same job, with the state agency largely given control of national auto energy policy. Do the ends justify the means? Maybe.
