It is puzzling for most of us I gather. I think it was because it was a V8?

V8 full frame "truck", one of the last mid-size SUVs with that configuration. Desirable in 20 years maybe, classic might be stretching it.

Find one in great condition from the last generation (especially 2009-10) and you’ll have something collectors should crave.
I really don’t think so.
Agree with every other pick on the list. If they really needed an SUV style vehicle to round out the list....

Ford Excursion V10

I'd add the 1989 Taurus SHO. What a great stealthy fast sedan. And a high reving Yamaha engine to boot! Loved mine....kinda wish I'd held onto it now.

There was more than just the 89 btw....remember 99(iirc) when they dropped the 4.6 in the taurus?

The old style sho is better looking tho hands down but they were SOOOOO unreliable.

I liked the 89-95 version better than the later model year version as well. Ford changed nature of the car in later years (auto only) and tried to make it more of a luxury sedan....than sports sedan.

My 89 was reliable, save the clutch, which I found wore pretty quickly. That might have had something to do with my driving style though. ;). I did the timing belt change myself on mine twice (per regular maintenance) and also adjusted the valve shims (per maintenance schedule). Outside of that, the car was very reliable for me.....and a ton of fun to drive. Surprised quite a few other drivers when they thought they had a fast car.....including some fox mustangs. :). Launching the car was a real challenge though....torque steer was pretty crazy.

96-99 SHO had a unique 3.4L 60 degree V8 done by Yamaha, 235 hp and only available with an autobox. Under the Ford ownership, Volvo took that design and increased the displacement so they would have a compact V8 to fit their FWD/AWD chassis.

The 95-02 FWD Lincoln Continental, which had a modded version of the Taurus / Sable chassis, did get its own variant of the 4.6L DOHC. Maybe that's what you were thinking of. I've seen 96-up Tauri on the Interwebs with a 4.6 swap.

I do not think that most mass produced vehicles after 93 will ever be a collector classic. Certainly not a 2011 Explorer... lol The way things are going, in 20 years gasoline powered cars may even be outlawed as far as I can tell plus most kids these days aren’t into cars. They won’t want to restore a 2017 mustang in 25 years.

I give it 5-10 years, 15 tops.

$100 gasoline powered cars are not outlawed in 5 years.

You weren’t. But I am.
Stangstevers predicted that gasoline powered vehicles may be outlawed in 20 years. You upped the ante to 5-10 years, 15 tops. I’m willing to bet against your prediction that gasoline powered vehicles are made illegal by 2023.
Just a friendly wager amongst friends.

Britain set a target for 2040 no more gas vehicle sales, which most find ambitious. That's also just stopping sales, not a hard pull of all gas powered cars.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-honda-civic-13/Ive been looking at the S2000 for a few weeks now and they seem to be holding on to thier value big time. Id love to scoop one up but at those prices i may have to go for an mx5 which is unfortunate since i have a cock n balls still and as soon as my name is on the ownership of a Miata, they will be gone :(

AP1 S2K seem to be on the uptick, got a buddy with a white on red one that I keep pressuring to sell me for what he paid, could sell it and make double easily.

Noooooo way, 5 years? Would be interesting since our grid won’t support this. It will take over 20 years.

Governments can change our behaviour with taxes so they could make gas $2 a litre and make us switch voluntarily though... that could happen in 5 years but no law...
