This time from thedrive.com. Unlike other articles, this one only lists four cars: the Civic Type R, Acura NSX, Lexus LC 500, and our very own Fiesta ST.

We've all seen these articles before, but it's curious that thedrive only lists four. Surprisingly, I think I actually agree with their other three choices, yet I'm still not sure I'm convinced about the FiST. Anyone agree/disagree that the FiST might actually be collectable in 20 years? What non-exotic cars would you include on the list?
The article makes an interesting statement that the FiST will be collectable but likely won't appreciate in value. I suppose I could see this happening. The 2014's are 7 years old now, and the new ones (2019's) are long gone. There aren't many around (at least not in MN), and many seem to be gaining mileage quickly. This could mean that in a decade lower mileage examples might be quite rare. Enthusiasts would still be interested in them, while high mileage cars might be sought after by track rats (like older Miatas and BMWs). It's all guesswork at this point, and I think it's probably too early to tell. I am a fanboy though, and I do love my FiST. I'd love it to continue to get some recognition as time goes on.
As for other cars to add to the list, I'd go with a CTS-V manual wagon and the voodoo engine mustangs.
