When people talk about collectible cars, they think in terms of past vehicles that are no longer being produced, or if they are, they come in new models that are not as collectible. Many times, these older cars become collectible because people remember them through rose tinted glasses, or because they are super rare. Whatever the case, here are three cars that are relatively new that could become collectible in the future.

1. BMW Z8. When this car appeared in 2000, it instantly ignited a retro resurgence that hasn't stopped since. The vehicle was a radical departure for BMW in that it was a two seat, grand tourer that cost around $130,000. The front kidney grille harkened back to the days of the 507, but while the styling was old school, the engine was a brand new 4.9 liter V8 shared by the M5. It produced 500 horsepower and could get the car to 60 in about 4.2 seconds. Only 5,700 of these cars were produced and because of their rarity and their retro styling, will be future collectibles.

2. Lotus Exige. This car is still being built today, but I would say that the original Exige would be the more collectible of the two. The original, released in 2000, came in two trims; race spec and normal. The normal version of the car had a 1.8 liter Rover K series engine producing 177 horsepower. While this doesn't seem like a lot, the whole car weighed in at less than one ton. This meant that the power to weight ratio was very close to that of supercars and the car could sprint to 60 in less than five seconds. The track spec version had an even more powerful engine that produced 192 horsepower that resulted in even better performance numbers. This car was never officially imported to the US and even now, is rare in Europe. Because of the engine choices and the rarity, this car will be a future collectible.

3. Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. This car is a little more off base than what many would consider. In fact, most people see these cars and don't think much about them. In fact, if you do happen to see one of these, you are seeing only one of less than 14,000 left in existence. Though that number may seem like a lot, another car in the same class, like the Honda Civic Si has production numbers that run much higher. There are other things that make the Subaru more desirable still. First off, this is a North American only model. The engine is 2.5 liters and makes 165 horsepower and, depending on the year, either 163 or 166 ft lbs of torque.

This makes the car much easier to drive and doesn't require that you rev the balls off the engine to get the car to move anywhere. It also has the advantage of all wheel drive, which comes in handy in inclement weather. The really rare 2.5 Imprezas came in coupe form, of which there are around 7,700. This was, and remains, the only Subaru Impreza body style that featured a two door version and it remains highly sought after in the Impreza community for its looks and its weight advantage over later models.

Will these cars become collector's items? It's hard to say, but I wouldn't bet against any of them. If you are thinking about adding aftermarket car accessories to these, just remember to keep the original parts handy in case they do become collector's items. That way you can turn it back to stock and increase the value.

Remember to keep all of the OEM parts that you take off your car so that you can return it to stock if you have installed aftermarket car accessories. This way you will make sure that you get the highest value possible should your vehicle become a classic.

Scion Launches Bigger Xb at Chicago Auto Show

This year’s installment of the Chicago Auto Show has seen the launch of great vehicles for the 2008 model year. One of such vehicles introduced to the public at the said event is the all-new 2008 xB from Toyota's marque, Scion.

The so-called urban utility vehicle was first introduced to the public in 2003 and from then on, it has received quite a warm welcome from car buyers. The Scion xB is characterized by its boxy design and this has already become a distinction for Scion cars. It would seem that Scion car buyers loved the boxy design of the xB because the latest model of the vehicle is made even bigger and still has a boxy design. The latest installment of the Scion xB is the result of the feedbacks of xB owners that they wanted a bigger car.

The all new Scion xB is the result of a designing process that aims for distinction. Some of its exterior design elements are from the Scion t2B concept car that the brand showcased during the 2005 New York International Auto Show. Style characteristics like the angles between the cars panels, the high beltline, inset taillights, rectangular grille, and the distinct fenders are all taken from the concept vehicle.

The result of the integration of such design elements to the new Scion xB resulted to a more aggressive looking design. The vehicle now comes with the radical design elements and is now popular among the younger car buyers. Sure enough, the all-new version of the vehicle will surely not disappoint.

The exterior design is not the only improvement that the Scion xB has over the previous model. The redeveloped xB is much roomier than the old models. The wheelbase was increased by four inches and the overall length by twelve inches. The width of the vehicle is also increased by three inches while the height was decreased by more than an inch to ensure a comfortable ride. The wheels are also bigger than the ones used by the current xB model - the newest xB sports 16-inch wheels.

Car buyers can also choose between three wheel covers. The brakes that the new Scion xB will use will also be bigger than what is being used on the current model. Brake discs for the front wheels will be a 10.83-inch ventilated disc, while a 10.98-inch disc will be installed at the rear. These are about a couple of inches larger than what the first generation of Scion xBs used. The vehicle can also perform better if OEM parts of high quality are used. Just like Volvo OEM parts which makes parts replacement easy and gives reliable performance.

The interior of the 2008 Scion xB is also given much attention. This is evident in the lounge-like interior of the urban utility vehicle. And since the vehicle is made bigger, the cargo space is significantly increased. The cargo hold behind the rear seats offer 29.1 cubic feet of space. If that is not enough, the rear seat can be folded down flat which would dramatically increase the cargo space. The rear seat’s 60/40 split configuration makes this car one of the more versatile load carrying cars there is. In addition to the fold down rear seats, the front seats can also be fully reclined which would even add more to cargo capacity.

Power is also upgraded for the new generation xB. Its powerplant is a 2.4-liter double overhead cam four cylinder engine. The engine is equipped with a variable valve timing technology which increases its fuel efficiency. The new xB’s engine can provide 158 horsepower which is a huge increase from the 103 horsepower that the previous models’ engine can produce.
